To secure better living standards for workers, the minimum wage in Minneapolis has seen a definitive upgrade this summer. Small businesses, those housing 100 employees or fewer, now join their larger counterparts in implementing a minimum wage of $15.57, effective as of July 1, as detailed by the City of Minneapolis. This adjustment follows an earlier increase that took place on January 1, where larger employers began adhering to the new wage standard, as reported on the City of Minneapolis's Labor Standards information page.
The wage increase is applicable regardless of an employee's training status or age, as per the City of Minneapolis. Its influence is tied to Minneapolis's geographical boundaries, impacting workers located within the city for the duration of their employment hours. In line with these changes, employers are mandated to exhibit labor standard notices and distribute the updated 2024 Minneapolis Labor Standards Poster at the workplace, alongside issuing written or electronic prehire notices to their employees.
For any questions or reports regarding labor standards or to gain more insight into employers' responsibilities and employees' rights in regard to the changes in wage and sick leave laws, the city encourages direct contact through its website, via 311 calls, or by email correspondence to the relevant departments.
