Seeking Out Seattle’s Updated Minimum Wage Poster

Seattle made waves nationally when they increased the minimum wage this year, and the next established increase to $13.00 for large employers and $12.00 for small employers will take effect on January 1, 2016.

The Nitty Gritty

Seattle’s minimum wage law is a little more complicated than some of the others around the country. The wage ordinance takes into consideration a number of factors when calculating the wages for different employers. Large employers are classified as employers with 501 or more employees, and the rate will increase to $13.00 for those employers. For employers with 500 or fewer employees, the minimum wage increases to $12.00 per hour without tips or benefits, or to $10.50 per hour with tips or if the employer makes payments towards a qualifying medical benefits plan.

I know, that’s a lot of information! The best way to stay up-to-date on those numbers is to post the updated Seattle minimum wage poster as soon as it becomes available!
