While California's state minimum wage is $16.00 per hour, Petaluma has set its own, higher minimum wage rate that applies to employees of all companies who work within Petaluma. A minimum wage increase is currently scheduled in Petaluma, but until the effective date of the state minimum wage rate of $16.00 will apply.
