Utah minimum wage rules

Utah minimum wage (same as the federal minimum wage)

$7.25 an hour, the same as the federal minimum wage: the Labor Commission sets the Utah rate by rule and it may not exceed the federal minimum wage, and the Utah Minimum Wage Act does not apply to employees covered by the federal minimum wage. Tipped employees who receive at least $30.00 a month in tips may be paid a cash wage of $2.13 an hour if the cash wage and tips together reach $7.25 an hour. Minors may be paid $4.25 an hour during their first 90 days (not calculated). Cities, towns and counties may not set a higher minimum wage.

Utah minimum wage: same as the federal minimum wage

HoursReady holds no Utah minimum wage of its own: the state rule is the same as the federal minimum wage, and the HoursReady calculators apply the federal rules for Utah.

$7.25, $30.00, $2.13, $4.25 in the rule text: not calculated by HoursReady.
