<prompt> Human: On July 1st, 2014 the state, California, minimum wage increase to 9.00 per hour. Currently I make more than that but I dont think my company will adjust our pay rates because of it. Does this new increase affect me in anyway? Am I now going to be making less money?  <response>: No. You are not entitled to a raise if you make more than the minimum. This will not affect you in anyway. You are not making less, other people who were making minimum are just making more.
