Beginning Saturday, July 1, the minimum wage for people who perform work in the unincorporated area of Monrovia and Los Angeles County will increase. Large businesses (with 26 or more employees) must pay workers at least $12 an hour. Small businesses (with 25 or fewer employees) must pay workers $10.50 an hour. The County of Los Angeles Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) will enforce the minimum wage in unincorporated Los Angeles County.
