Industrial Welfare Commission wage orders

Listed below are brief historical perspectives on each of the Industrial Welfare Commission's 17 individual industrial and/or occupational wage orders. Each effective date cell displays an individual wage order and its evolvement since 1980. The effective date usually represents the point in time when significant changes to a wage order were to be implemented. However, in some instances, minor revisions and amendments to the wage order not previously incorporated, may be included as of that particular effective date.

Also provided as another informational aid is a link that will allow you to review the summary for each individual wage order. This link can be used two different ways to access all wage order summaries: by clicking on the link here, or when you access a particular wage order there will be another link to that wage order's specific summay.
