Washington State has a minimum wage that varies depending on the size of the employer and the location. There's no single statewide minimum wage number that applies universally. Instead, it's a tiered system:
Large Employers (500+ employees): These employers must pay a higher minimum wage than smaller employers. This higher wage is adjusted annually based on inflation. You'll need to check the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) website for the most up-to-date amount.
Small Employers (fewer than 500 employees): These employers also have a minimum wage, which is also adjusted annually and is lower than the rate for larger employers. Again, consult the L&I website for the current amount.
Tipped Employees: Washington also has a separate minimum wage for tipped employees, which is also adjusted annually and is lower than the minimum wage for non-tipped employees. This minimum wage is then supplemented by tips, but the employer must ensure that the combined wage (minimum wage + tips) equals or exceeds the standard minimum wage for their employer size.
Where to Find the Exact Current Minimum Wage: The most accurate and up-to-date information on Washington State's minimum wage is always found on the official Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) website. Searching "Washington minimum wage" on their site will bring you directly to the relevant pages. Relying on other sources might give you outdated or incorrect information.
Important Note: The minimum wage changes annually, usually on January 1st. Always check the L&I website for the most current rates before relying on any previously published information.
