July 2025 Update

Missouri Workers Center and Missouri Jobs with Justice are disappointed in Missouri state lawmakers' eleventh-hour decision to buck the will of the people and overturn Missourians' earned paid sick days and annual minimum wage increase cost-of-living adjustments. Workers should continue to accrue and be able to use their earned paid sick days until August 28, 2025 and the minimum wage will still increase to $15 per hour on January 1, 2026.
