Evers Wants to Raise State Employee Minimum Wage to $15

Governor Tony Evers’ 2019-2021 state employee compensation plan would raise the minimum wage of permanent state workers to 15 dollars an hour.  His proposal released Friday also includes two-percent raises for corrections employees, bring their minimum wage to 19 dollars.  Evers says it has “market increases impacting more than 54-hundred employees across nearly 300 classifications.”  It will requires legislative approval.  The University of Wisconsin-Madison is moving forward with 15-dollar-an-hour minimum wage for hourly employees in the spring of 2020.  Chancellor Rebecca Blank said,”the increase in our minimum wage is a key part of our strategy for helping the university recruit and retain high-quality workers.”
