"Chicago's labor laws are a testament to my unwavering dedication to creating fair and just workplaces where every worker is respected, valued, and treated with dignity," said Mayor Brandon Johnson.
"A protected workforce is the cornerstone of a prosperous City, driving innovation, productivity, and sustainable growth," said BACP Commissioner Kenneth J. Meyer. "Chicago has been a leader in worker protections, and we continue to prioritize the well-being of workers as we create a more equitable and inclusive local economy."
Every July 1, Chicago's minimum wage increases per the Minimum Wage Ordinance. Beginning July 1, 2024:
Since reaching $15 per hour in 2021 the minimum wage increases annually according to changes to the Consumer Price Index or 2.5%, whichever is lower.
Under the Johnson Administration, the historic One Fair Wage Ordinance was passed by the Chicago City Council phasing out the tipped wage credit for tipped workers over a 5-year period. The legislation will provide for the wages of tipped workers such as restaurant servers, bartenders, bussers and runners who earn a subminimum wage of $11.02 per hour to increase by 8 percent per year until it reaches parity with Chicago's standard hourly minimum wage on July 1, 2028.
