Yes, they can. There is nothing in the law requiring employers to increase pay for those living in higher-cost areas. Some employers do it by choice but it is not required. No employee is entitled by law to anything more than the higher of state or Federal minimum wage, or (if exempt) $455 per week or the state floor for exempt salary (if different - in CA it is $640).
