Wage and Hour Exemptions
Employees may be exempt from wage and hour laws based on criteria associated with their salary, actual duties, and skills. Exempt employees neither receive overtime pay nor qualify for minimum wage. Missouri labor law defines these exemptions based on Executive, Administrative, or Professional status. Learn more here.

All businesses within the State of Missouri must display the new “Minimum Wage” poster along with other state-mandated posting requirements where they are sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change will be reflected in our 2025 Missouri Labor Law Poster. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.
