Many states have already increased (or will be increasing) their required minimum wages in 2017, and that’s on top of a slew of recent increases in 2016. Are you up to date on your state’s minimum wage requirements?
CEDR’s 2017 Minimum Wage infographic is a great way to make sure you’re aware of recent changes and are paying all employees properly for their time. Simply hover the mouse cursor over a state to see what changes will occur in 2017, or confirm your state’s current minimum wage. Plus, take a look at your neighboring states to see how your minimum wages compare!
Some states do not have a minimum wage defined by state law. For those, the federal minimum of $7.25 applies. Additionally, for states that define a lower minimum wage, the higher federal wage applies in most cases.*
