"The statutory minimum wage rates vary widely from the federal minimum wage across the 50 states, with new rates taking effect in many states in 2019. Some of these rates were recently decided by voters in ballot initiatives in the November mid-term elections. Currently, the highest statewide minimum wage rate is in the District of Columbia, at $13.25 per hour, followed by Massachusetts and Washington each at $12 per hour, effective January 1, 2019. The lowest minimum wage rates are at $5.15 are in Georgia and Wyoming, however, most employers and employees would be subject to the higher federal minimum wage rate of $7.25 per hour. Our experts regularly track and report these critical changes, helping our payroll customers effectively manage their obligations and avoid pitfalls."
