In 2024, the minimum wage across the city of Minneapolis will rise to $15.57. First, on January 1, 2024, larger employers (more than 100 employees) and franchises start paying at least $15.57.

Next, on July 1, 2024, all other employers (100 or fewer employees) reach the same required minimum wage of $15.57. Find more information on the City’s website or email minwage@minneapolismn.gov.

Also in 2024, the State of Minnesota earned sick and safe time law is expanding paid sick leave protection to employees all across the state. It requires paid sick or equivalent leave (just like in Minneapolis) to be provided by all employers (of all sizes) to their employees. For more information, visit the MN Department of Labor and Industry’s website. Investment in people grows businesses and healthier communities.
