Salary workers…. Did you get your post increase in January 1st?
WA state minimum wage went up meaning the minimum a salary worker can make in WA state as of Jan 1 2026 raised to $80,168.40 annually. It’s weird the focus was on layoffs and we didn’t get our increase
I will be contacting a lawyer and LNI

@dm WA state law sets a separate, higher minimum for non-hourly overtime exempt workers.
@OP You've not had a paycheck in 2026 with hours FROM 2026. You should see this change in the 2nd half of the month paycheck. If it's not there, then complain.
@OP I don’t understand this. Minimum wage is $17.13 per hour, ~35K per year for full time.
