⚠️ Important update for California business owners in 2026 Starting January 1, 2026, the state minimum wage in California will increase to $16.90/hour. Because exempt employee salary thresholds are tied to the state minimum wage, this also means the minimum annual salary for many exempt executive, administrative and professional employees will rise to $70,304/year (≈ $1,352/week). If your exempt employees are earning below this threshold, they may no longer qualify for exemption — which could create overtime pay obligations, misclassification risks, and possible penalties under wage-and-hour laws. That is why now is the perfect time to ensure your HR, payroll and compliance systems are updated and aligned with California requirements. At Small Business Consulting we help businesses confidently navigate these changes. Here’s how we can support you: • Review and adjust employee classifications (exempt vs non-exempt) • Audit and update payroll and salary structures • Build compliant HR policies, handbooks, and procedures • Manage benefits, vendor setup, payroll compliance, and ongoing HR operations If you want to protect your business from risk and make sure your team is set up correctly for 2026, we’re here to help!
