The ordinance, effective Jan. 1, 2017, applies to all adult and minor employees who work two or more hours per week and excludes tips. The Los Altos minimum wage increases to $12 per hour on the effective date, followed by $13.50 Jan. 1, 2018, and $15 Jan. 1, 2019. Beginning January 2020, the minimum wage will increase based on the Consumer Price Index.
