ABOUT THE MINIMUM WAGE ORDINANCE

On November 14, 2018, Saint Paul Mayor Melvin Carter signed into law a Minimum Wage Ordinance, Chapter 244 after a unanimous vote from the Saint Paul City Council. The Minimum Wage ordinance implements minimum wage rates depending on business size. Those schedules, along with updated workplace notice posters, can be found on our website.
