Minimum wage increase ahead warning sign
New minimum-wage rates

Minnesota’s minimum-wage rate [ [link removed] ] will be adjusted for inflation on Jan. 1, 2025, to $11.13 an hour for all employers in the state.

During the 2024 legislative session, Minnesota’s minimum wage law was revised to eliminate the reduced minimum wages applicable for small employers (defined as annual gross revenues less than $500,000), youth under the age of 18 and J-1 visa workers. These minimum wage changes are effective Jan. 1, 2025.

Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the state’s minimum-wage rate for all employers, including large employers, small employers, youth and J-1 visa wages for hotels, motels and lodging establishments, will increase to $11.13 an hour. The law still allows for a 90-day training wage for workers under age 20. The current hourly training wage, $8.85, will increase to $9.08. These rates reflect a 2.6% increase.

The cities of Minneapolis [ [link removed] ] and St. Paul [ [link removed] ] have minimum-wage ordinances that require higher minimum-wage rates for work performed in Minneapolis and St. Paul. 

Minnesota law requires employers to display state-mandated posters [ [link removed] ] in a location where employees can easily see them. The new minimum-wage poster will be available for download this fall.
