Minnesota overtime rules in 2026

Minnesota's 2026 minimum wage is $11.41/hour for all employers, and Minnesota does not allow a tip credit. For overtime, the important intent match is the split: federal FLSA coverage usually triggers overtime after 40 hours, while Minnesota state-only overtime applies after 48 hours in a seven-day period.

Weekly Overtime RuleFederal FLSA coverage generally requires 1.5× after 40 hours; Minnesota state law requires 1.5× after 48 hours when only state law applies.
Minimum Wage$11.41/hour
Tipped Wage$11.41/hour
Local Wage CaveatMinneapolis and St. Paul may require higher local minimum wages. Use the local wage if it is higher than the statewide $11.41/hour floor.
Salary Employee NoteMinnesota salaried employees can still be non-exempt. Duties, salary basis, and coverage determine whether overtime is owed.
