HOURLY MINIMUM WAGE $5.15

The minimum wage applies to most hourly wage earners employed in Iowa. Some retail and service establishments grossing less than $300,000 annually are not required to pay the minimum wage. Most supervisory and administrative employees paid a salary are not covered by the law.
Certain full-time students, student learners, apprentices, and workers with disabilities may be paid less than the minimum wage only under special certificates. These are issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
TIP CREDIT – The tip credit which an employer may claim with respect to “Tipped Employees” is 40% of the applicable minimum wage. (“Tipped Employees” customarily and regularly receive more than $30.00 a month in tips.)
Enforcement
The Iowa Division of Labor may bring action against employers who violate the state’s minimum wage law. Courts may order payment of back wages. No employer can discriminate against or discharge an employee for filing a complaint or participating in a proceeding under this law.
Additional Information
Certain occupations or establishments may not be covered by the minimum wage. If you have questions, contact: Iowa Division of Labor,
