Missouri’s minimum wage set to increase on New Year’s Day
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Since 2015, Missouri’s minimum wage has increased more than 60 percent. And it will see a near-100 percent increase by 2026.
On Nov. 5, Missouri voters approved Proposition A, which will raise the state’s minimum wage from the current $12.30 per hour to $13.75. The increase will take effect on Jan. 1, 2025.
Then on New Year’s Day of 2026, the minimum wage in Missouri will see another bump up to $15 per hour.
Proposition A also required all employers to offer one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, and give the Department of Labor oversight for enforcing the new laws. There are exemptions built in for government employers and those working in public or private education.
