"Senate Bill 525 was signed into law by Governor Newsom in October 2023. Starting July 1, 2025, SB525 sets a new $24 minimum wage for nonexempt healthcare workers and raises the exempt employee salary threshold to $1,440/week (equivalent to $6,240/month or $74,880/year).
1. As defined under SB525, healthcare workers are defined as employees who are involved in the provision of "health care
services," which means "patient care-related services including nursing; caregiving; services provided by medical residents,
interns, or fellows; technical and ancillary services; janitorial work; housekeeping; grounds keeping; guard duties; business
office clerical work; food services; laundry; medical coding and billing; call center and warehouse work; scheduling; and gift
shop work; but only where such services support patient care".
2. Employees (career, contract, student, per diem) in the UCLA Health medical facilities (e.g. Ronald Reagan Medical Center,
Santa Monica UCLA Hospital, Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, etc.) meet these criteria."
