New Law Affects Student Workers

With the passage of Proposition B in November, the minimum wage in Missouri will increase from $7.85 to $8.60 per hour, effective Jan. 1. As a public employer, Truman is exempt from Proposition B, however, the University has voluntarily chosen to adopt the upcoming 2019 minimum wage increase. Additionally, the change in minimum wage will also reduce the scholarship service requirement from 60 to 58 hours per semester.
