Hennepin County has no countywide hotel living-wage law, but Minneapolis and St. Paul require hotel workers to be paid the local large-employer minimum wage, which exceeds the Minnesota state floor.
Minnesota does not preempt local minimum-wage rules under Minn. Stat. 177.24. Minneapolis Code Chapter 40 sets a $15 minimum wage for large employers, indexed annually, and Saint Paul has parallel rules. Hotels operating in those cities must pay covered hotel housekeeping, front-desk, and food-and-beverage staff the local minimum, plus comply with the Earned Sick and Safe Time ordinances. Bloomington and other Hennepin County suburbs follow only the Minnesota state minimum wage. There is no Hennepin County hotel-specific living-wage ordinance, unlike Los Angeles or Long Beach.
Hotels paying below the Minneapolis minimum face back-wage liability, civil penalties, and city Department of Civil Rights enforcement actions.
