Minimum Wage Increase 2024

June 5, 2024

Dear HR Colleagues,

The Berkeley Campus will increase the minimum wage for all jobs to $18.67/ hour effective June 23, 2024, in alignment with the upcoming minimum wage increase implemented by the City of Berkeley. This minimum wage implementation primarily affects our Student Assistants (STDT 2 - 004921, STDT 3 - 004920, and STDT 4 - 004919) in the Casual/Restricted employee class. Any non-represented staff employees falling below the new minimum wage will also have their pay rate increased to $18.67/hour. Union-represented employees falling below the new minimum will be managed by Labor Relations.

A mass programmed update will implement the minimum wage change in UCPath on the pay period starting June 23, and all impacted bi-weekly paid employees will see this change on their July 17 paycheck. For additional information regarding Student Assistant wage rates, please review ourStudent Assistant rates at the bottom of the web page.
