Minimum Wage Charts by State


Ensure State-by-State Minimum Wage Compliance 

Most states throughout the United States (including Washington D.C.), have created - and continue to create - laws to update minimum wage requirements. These state minimum wage laws go above and beyond the federal minimum wage required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

What is Minimum Wage? 

The federal minimum wage and FLSA require that the vast majority of employees regardless of state (with few exceptions), make a minimum of wage $7.25 per hour. If a state has no minimum wage requirement or law, or the minimum wage required by the state is lower than the federal minimum wage, then the federal minimum wage typically always applies for that state. Otherwise, the higher state minimum wage requirement applies. 

Each time the minimum wage requirements change, employers are required to raise standard pay rates for employees to the new minimum wage and begin compensating employees by the effective date of change. This pay increase should be reflected in the employee's pay stub on the next scheduled pay date. Employers must also display new labor law posters as a notice to employees in the workplace when laws like minimum wage change.
