REQUIRED MINIMUM MONTHLY COMPENSATION, INCLUDING REQUIRED OVERTIME PAY, FOR SHEEPHERDERS AND GOAT HERDERS WORKING REGULARLY SCHEDULED 24 HOUR SHIFTS, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK Sheepherders working 24/7 on-call shifts have been eligible for a special monthly minimum wage as an alternative to the generally applicable state hourly minimum wage since 2001. (Lab. Code §§ 2695.1, 2695.2.) However, goat herders first became eligible for this alternative monthly minimum wage on September 27, 2022, so this chart and the following calculations should not be used for determining amounts earned by goat herders prior to that date. (Lab. Code § 2695.3, 2695.4.) Required overtime compensation for all agricultural employees, including herders working 24/7 shifts, is mandated by the Phase-In Overtime for Agricultural Workers Act of 2016. (Lab. Code §§ 857-864.) Important: Effective July 1, 2026, Labor Code sections 2695.3 and 2695.4 are repealed. As a result, ranchers employing goatherders in California may no longer pay the monthly minimum wage previously authorized under section 2695.4.Beginning July 1, 2026, employers of goatherders employed on a 24-hour 7 day a week schedule (or any other work schedule) must comply with Labor Code section 510 (pursuant to Labor Code section 861) and IWC Wage Order 14. Goatherders must be paid at least the applicable state hourly minimum wage as well as any required overtime and double-time premiums. SIZE OF EMPLOYER YEAR Employs over 25 employees Employs 25 or fewer employees 2019 $2,133.52 monthly minimum wage plus $821.03 required overtime pay, for a total of $2,954.55 per month $1,955.74 monthly minimum wage plus $233.31 required overtime pay, for a total of $2,189.05 per month 2020 $2,311.24 monthly minimum wage plus $922.57 required overtime pay, for a total of $3,233.81 per month $2,133.52 monthly minimum wage plus $254.11 required overtime pay, for a total of $2,387.63 per month 2021 $2,488.97 monthly minimum wage plus $1,029.99 required overtime pay, for a total of $3,518.96 per month $2,311.24 monthly minimum wage plus $274.91 required overtime pay, for a total of $2,586.15 per month 2022 $2,666.68 monthly minimum wage plus $1,712.88 required overtime pay, for a total of $4,379.56 per month $2,488.97 monthly minimum wage plus $955.89 required overtime pay, for a total of $3,444.86 per month 2023 $2,755.48 monthly minimum wage plus $1,772.85 required overtime pay, for a total of $4,528.33 per month $2,755.48 monthly minimum wage plus $1,098.15 required overtime pay, for a total of $3,853.63 per month 2024 $2,844.48 monthly minimum wage plus $1,830.75 required overtime pay, for a total of $4,675.23 per month $2,844.48 monthly minimum wage plus $1,179.88 required overtime pay, for a total of $4,024.36 per month YEAR Regardless of the number of employees 2025 $2,933.51 monthly minimum wage plus $1,886.91 required overtime pay, for a total of $4,820.42 per month 2026 $3,004.50 monthly minimum wage plus $1,933.71 required overtime pay, for a total of $4,938.21 per month NOTE:  (1)  The laws and regulations which allow for payments in the above-specified amounts, which are below otherwise generally applicable state minimum wage and overtime requirements, only apply to sheepherders as defined at Labor Code Section 2695.1, and/or goat herders (starting on September 27, 2022) as defined at Labor Code Section  2695.3. If any work other than that described in these code sections is performed during a workweek, the employee shall instead be entitled to payment of the generally applicable state minimum wage and overtime requirements for that workweek. (Lab. Code §§ 2695.2, 2695.4.) (2)  The determination of whether an employer falls into the large or small employer category is based on the number of employees employed (regardless of specific job duties), not the number of sheepherders and/or goat herders employed. (3)  Calculations upon which the above-listed amounts are based are set out in the following pages.  Beyond 2024, future increases in the sheepherder and goat herder monthly minimum wage, excluding overtime, are tied to and will reflect the percentage of any increases in the generally applicable state minimum wage. (Lab. Code §§ 2695.2, 2695.4.) Also, on 1/1/2025, the maximum number of non-overtime hours for herders working for employers with 25 or fewer employees will decrease to 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week, and such herders will then become entitled to overtime compensation at double the regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 in any workday, along with already applicable overtime requirements. (Lab. Code §§ 860-862.) Consequently, starting on 1/1/25, there will no longer be any differences in calculations for large and small employers. (4)  Herders’ wages shall not be offset by employer-provided meals or lodging. (Lab. Code §§ 2695.2, 2695.4.) (5)  Employers of sheepherders and/or goat herders must comply with all record keeping obligations set out in Section 7(A) and (B) of IWC Order 14-2001, and shall provide the herders  with annual notice of their rights under state and federal law, as required under Section 7(D) of the Order. (6)  The applicable Labor Code and IWC Wage Order provisions contain additional requirements regarding employee housing, meals, meal periods, rest periods, tools and equipment, communications devices, visitor access, and seating.       (1) YEAR – 2019 - (STARTING 1/1/2019) (A)   EMPLOYER SIZE --- EMPLOYS OVER 25 EMPLOYEES Minimum monthly wage, excluding OT = $2,133.52 Regular Rate Calculation:  $2,133.52 X 12 = $25,602.24 ÷ 52 = $492.35/week ÷ 168 hours   = $2.93/hour regular rate  (1/2 R.R. = $1.47/hour) Required OT Calculation: Hours worked in excess of 9.5 per day or 55 per week must be paid at 1.5 X R.R.
