Payroll is complicated, and the laws that govern employment eligibility, wages, and taxes are complex. Laws vary from state to state, and so does the minimum wage. Even before rising inflation, many states were on track to raise their minimum wage. To help companies stay abreast of the minimum wage changes, we’ve put together a list of states that have announced an increase to their minimum wage. Keep in mind that other states plan to boost their minimum wage later in 2023.
