Missouri 2016 Minimum Wage, New Posting
Minimum wage remains the same in Missouri but the required poster is updated with an effective date of January 1, 2016.
[wc_divider style=”dotted” line=”single” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=””]Fresh from the battle with Missouri cities that prevented them from establishing citywide wage rates, the State of Missouri’s Division of Labor Standards (DLS) announced that the Missouri 2016 minimum wage rate will remain unchanged at $7.65 per hour.
The DLS has released a revised posting that employers must display by January 1, 2016.
What Changed on the 2016 Missouri Minimum Wage Poster?
The primary change was to the year, which was updated for 2016. Although the change may not appear substantial, the revised poster is required for all Missouri businesses, and the year is “front and center” on the notice. Workers will notice if the year isn’t current!
Missouri is among the states that have indexed their minimum wage rates, meaning their minimum wage rates could change annually based on the cost of living as determined by changes to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Missouri employers are required to update their postings each year when the DLS releases revised postings, regardless of whether there was a change to the minimum wage rate or not.

Richmond, Calif. 2016 Minimum Wage Increase
$11.52 per hour in 2016 for Richmond, California minimum wage workers. Revised posting required.
Beginning January 1, 2016, employers in Richmond, California will need to give their minimum wage workers a pay boost. The new rate of $11.52 per hour represents a 16 percent increase over the previous rate – and it’s not done increasing.
The Richmond Minimum Wage Ordinance establishes a $13.00 per hour minimum wage for 2018 with the rate being adjusted for inflation beginning 2019, subject to changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The City would announce any increases to the rate by October 1 each year.
If an employer pays at least $1.50 per hour towards an employee’s medical benefits plan, then the employer can deduct the $1.50 from the minimum wage amount.
