Minimum Wage
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-1203 — fifteen dollars an hour in 2026, rising each January, and two dollars and thirteen cents plus tips
Fifteen dollars. Every employer pays a minimum wage of fifteen dollars per hour through December 31, 2026, apart from the section's exceptions and the training wage.
From January 1, 2027, the minimum rises each January by one and three-quarters percent, and the Department of Labor publishes the new rate by October 15 of the year before.
Employees paid partly in tips are paid at least two dollars and thirteen cents an hour plus all their tips, and the section protects the total. A particular job is a question for the Department of Labor.
