ELI5— what this means for you

When the Regional Board determines a wage increase is warranted, it issues a Wage Order after public hearings. The order takes effect 15 days after publication. You can appeal to the NWPC within 10 days, but the order stays in effect while the appeal is pending.

Key point

New minimum wage in your region? It takes effect 15 days after publication — even if it's being appealed.
