A new minimum wage for California health care workers will be delayed until at least Oct. 15 under an agreement between state legislators and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The deal announced Saturday will tie implementation of the minimum wage to the state’s finances. The wage rate had been set to take effect on July 1.
