Beginning Sunday, July 1, the minimum wage in Minneapolis will rise to $10.25 for small employers and $11.25 for large employers.

It's part of the recently passed ordinance that will see minimum wage continue to rise over the next five years, going up in one dollar increments each July 1 through 2023, although large businesses will be capped at $15 per hour in 2022.
