Virginia: Minimum Wage Increases Are on the Horizon 

The state legislature has passed HB 1/SB 1, which would increase the state minimum wage to $13.75 per hour, effective January 1, 2027, and to $15.00 per hour, effective January 1, 2028. Starting January 1, 2029, and every January 1 thereafter, the minimum wage would be further adjusted for inflation. Although the bill has not yet been signed by Governor Spanberger, she has indicated she plans to sign it into law.
