Massachusetts S1349 seeks to increase the minimum wage to $20.00 by 2030, with annual adjustments based on inflation. The bill mandates the executive office of labor and workforce development to calculate the adjusted minimum wage rate using the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers. This adjusted rate, calculated to the nearest cent, will take effect on January 1 each year. The bill also prohibits employers from paying wages below the established minimum wage, rendering such agreements null and void.
