Utah Title 34 Chapter 40 establishes the state minimum wage and preempts local governments from enacting their own minimum wage ordinances.
Utah's Minimum Wage Act in Title 34 Chapter 40 sets the statewide minimum wage at the federal floor and reserves wage regulation to the state Legislature. Section 34-40-106 prohibits political subdivisions from establishing minimum wage rates exceeding state law. The Labor Commission administers wage standards uniformly, ensuring employers operate under one rate regardless of location. Local governments retain authority over their own employees as employers, but cannot impose private-sector wage mandates. Tipped employees, agricultural workers, and certain trainees follow specific exemptions consistent with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act framework.
Employers paying below state or federal minimum wage face Labor Commission claims, back wage liability, civil penalties, and possible private right of action.
