Minimum Wage Will Increase January 1, 2022
Minnesota's minimum-wage rates will be adjusted for inflation January 1, 2022, to $10.33 an hour for large employers and $8.42 an hour for other state minimum wages. The current large-employer minimum wage, $10.08, will increase by 25 cents to $10.33. Other state minimum wages, including the small-employer, youth and training wages, as well as the summer work travel exchange visitor program wage, which are all currently $8.21, will increase by 21 cents to $8.42. These increases are both 2.5%.
Rates as of January 1, 2022:
- Large employers must pay at least $10.33 an hour when the employers annual gross revenues are $500,000 or more.
- Small employers must pay at least $8.42 an hour when the employer's annual gross revenues are less than $500,000.
- The training wage rate, $8.42 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 20 years of age for the first 90 consecutive days of employment.
- The youth wage rate, $8.42 an hour, may be paid to employees younger than 18 years of age.
Minnesota law requires employers to display five state-mandated posters in a location where employees can easily see them. The new minimum-wage poster will be available for download this fall. As part of Minnesota's employee notice requirement, employers are required to provide each employee with a written notice of any change before the change takes effect, including a change to the employee's rate of pay. Learn more about the employee notice requirement.
