The minimum wage for California health care workers would climb to $25 an hour for hospitals, clinics and other providers in a legislative proposal.
, a measure by Democratic Sen. Maria Elena Durazo of Los Angeles, which was amended Monday afternoon to reflect four different schedules that would eventually set a $25 minimum across the health care industry.
Some of California’s lowest paid health workers include nursing assistants, patient aides, medical technicians and janitorial workers.How soon these employees may see that $25 hourly wage floor depends on where they work. Employees at rural hospitals, for example, would have to wait 10 years until they reach the $25 hourly rate.
Hospitals with a high mix of Medi-Cal and Medicare patients, as well as rural independent hospitals would have to pay workers $18 an hour in 2024. That rate would increase 3.5% annually until it reaches $25 in 2033.
