Previously, we shared state and local jurisdictions with minimum wage increases in 2026. The trend of additional minimum wage legislation at the state and local level has continued throughout 2026. As these changes take effect, it's important to remember that employers must pay the highest rate whenever federal, state, and local rates differ.
