Kansas hospital announces minimum wage increase

Wages

A Kansas City, Kansas, hospital has raised its minimum hourly wage to $15. The University of Kansas Health System says in a news release that the change took effect Sunday and will be reflected in paychecks beginning March 5.

The announcement comes nearly a year into a global pandemic that has hit hospital staffs around the country particularly hard. It also comes as the Biden administration is pushing for an increase of the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.


The hospital says it has not laid off or furloughed staff during the pandemic and that the minimum wage increase is another step to support frontline workers.
