The 2026 San Mateo County Labor Law Poster is designed for employers with covered employees working in the unincorporated areas of San Mateo County, California. The County minimum wage is $17.95 per hour beginning January 1, 2026. The local ordinance generally covers employees who work at least two hours per week within the geographic boundaries of the unincorporated area, including full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, and minor employees. The official County notice states that employers must post the notice where employees can easily read it and that failure to post may result in penalties. Employees are also protected from retaliation when exercising rights under the County minimum wage law. This local poster should be used together with applicable California and federal workplace postings, as well as any city-specific notices that may apply to locations within incorporated San Mateo County cities.
