A citywide minimum wage goes into effect on Wednesday after the Denver
City Council by a 11-0 vote, increased it back in November. A new state law
requires employers to increase hourly employees to at least $12.85 with
a second raise to $14.77 following at the start of 2021, and a third to
$15.87 in 2022. After that, the state law mandates that it will then be
adjusted annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. Denver
becomes the first city in the state to raise the local minimum wage. The
current minimum wage is $11.10.
