The 2013 federal minimum wage will remain the same at $7.25 per hour for non-tipped employees and $2.13 per hour for tipped employees. However, the following states will raise minimum wages on January 1, 2013:
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment has proposed a minimum wage increase.
Vermont and Missouri will have wage increases based on increases in the cost of living, but the states have yet to announce details.
Affected employers in these states will need to update workplace wage and hour posters. The poster requirement applies to most dealerships and service centers, even if the business does not actually employ workers at minimum wage rates.
