July 1, 2021 Increase To Chicago Minimum Wage….But No Change To Cook County Minimum Wage Despite Written Notices
By EsqSocial Corporation 28/06/21
It’s that time of year (again) for increases in minimum wage. However, this year is slightly different! In spite of the Cook County written notices that some employers may have received, the Cook County Minimum Wage for non-tipped employees is NOT increasing, as the unemployment rate for Cook County during the prior year was greater than 8.5%. However, the Cook County Minimum wage for tipped employees will increase on July 1st from $6.00 to $6.60 to match the increase under Illinois law......
