What is the minimum wage in Washington, DC?

Asked a month ago
As of July 1, 2023, the minimum wage in Washington, D.C. is set at fifteen dollars and fifty cents per hour for most employees. This rate applies to all workers, including those in the private sector, as well as some public sector roles, and is in effect for both full-time and part-time workers. For tipped employees, the minimum wage is different; these employees receive a lower base wage but are expected to earn the difference through tips. It is essential for employers to comply with these regulations, and the D.C. Department of Employment Services provides resources regarding wage and hour laws. Those interested in staying informed about the most current minimum wage or related changes can always check the official website of the D.C. Department of Employment Services for the latest updates and information regarding labor laws.
