MLBA members only will receive in early February, a brand new all-in-one labor law poster for 2025. New on this year’s poster is a new Minnesota minimum wage as of January 1st. The new minimum wage posting and a new Veteran’s Benefits are two changes from last year’s All-in-one Poster, plus updated contact info on the Polygraph posting.
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. 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 has increased to $9.08.
If you don’t receive a poster by the end of the month, make sure your MLBA membership dues are paid up. Give us a call or email at 651-772-0910 or [email protected].
Some municipalities, such as Minneapolis and St. Paul, have a higher minimum wage than the State of Minnesota. Businesses located in these municipalities must follow the city’s minimum wage ordinances. If you need a wage poster from Minneapolis or St. Paul go to your city’s webpage (Minneapolis | St. Paul).
