>Denver employers will have to pay their hourly workers 52 cents more next year after the city’s minimum wage rises to $18.81 per hour on Jan. 1.
For tipped workers, the minimum wage will be set at $15.79 per hour if those workers make at least $3.02 in tips per hour.
City officials announced the forthcoming new rates in a news release Thursday. Until Jan. 1, employers are required to pay non-tipped workers this year’s rate of at least $18.29 per hour.
The 52-cent increase — 2.84% — is the smallest increase since at least 2021, according to data available through Denver Labor, the division of the Denver Auditor’s Office that enforces city wage laws.
