SACRAMENTO, Calif. – On Monday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the law hiking the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2022, the Sacramento Bee reports. The legislation gradually raises the minimum wage to $10.50 on January 1 for companies with 26 or more workers, with smaller businesses having an extra year to implement each phase. Other increments will raise the starting wage to $15 within seven years, with future raises keyed to inflation.

Across the country, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo also signed a new minimum wage bump, this one with two levels. In New York City, most businesses will pay $15 per hour by the end of 2018, while commuter counties of Westchester, Suffolk and Nassau will hit the $15 mark by the end of 2021. The rest of the state will have a $12.50 minimum wage by the end of 2020, Reuters reports.

This approach was part of a compromise with Republican legislators pushing for more relief for business owners in poorer, upstate areas. New York also provides New York City companies with up to 10 workers up to four years instead of three to reach $15 per hour.
