Federal, state, and local minimum wages

Federal, state, and local minimum wages

The Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009, but different states and even cities may have their own minimum wage requirements.

It’s important to make sure you’re paying the correct minimum wage based on the laws in any state or city where your employees work.

Tipped employees

If you have tipped employees and use FLSA tip credits, Gusto will notify you whenever local or state laws require a minimum wage increase.

To help you stay compliant, we'll also automatically adjust the minimum wage in the system when the new law takes effect.
