​​​​​​​Johnson County recommended minimum wage to increase to $12.64 per hour July 1, 2024

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors voted to increase the County’s recommended minimum wage to $12.64 per hour, effective Monday, July 1, 2024. The Board of Supervisors used Consumer Price Index data to set the increase, which is based on inflation.

 

Though the wage increase is symbolic in nature and unenforceable under State law, the Supervisors approved the increase to remain in line with the Board’s vote in September 2015 to begin phased increases. The Board of Supervisors has voted to increase the minimum wage in Johnson County since 2015.
