State Labor Laws
- Current Minimum Wage: $5.15
- Indexed to Inflation: N
- Minimum Wage Notes:
The Utah state minimum wage law does not contain current dollar minimums. Instead the state law authorizes the adoption of the Federal minimum wage rate via administrative action. The State law excludes from coverage any employment that is subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. - Unfortunately, Utah is a "right to work" state.
