***ANNOUNCEMENT – Minimum Wage***
Pursuant to RSMo 290.500 through 290.502, as revised by HB 567 (2025), public employers will be subject to Missouri’s minimum wage law.

Beginning Aug. 28, 2025, public employers in the state will be required to pay non-exempt employees a minimum of $13.75 per hour, and starting Jan. 1, 2026, $15.00 per hour. Please direct any inquiries to the Division of Labor Standards at 573-751-3403.

Employers Subject to Minimum Wage
Employers engaged in retail or service businesses whose annual gross income is less than $500,000 are not required to pay the state minimum wage rate. Employers not subject to the minimum wage law can pay employees wages of their choosing. For more information, please contact the United States Department of Labor.
Employers are generally subject to both state minimum wage laws and the federal minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 206, and the FLSA regulations at 29 CFR Part 570. Certain provisions of Missouri state law may be less restrictive than federal law, and employers covered by the FLSA that only follow a less restrictive provision of Missouri state law will be in violation of federal law. See 29 U.S.C.218(a). For more information on federal minimum wage law, please visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division Website at www.dol.gov/whd.
