Frequently asked questions

Where do the rates come from?

Only from announcements that are already official: state labor departments, city ordinance pages and the statutes or ballot measures behind them. Every alert links its source. If a state indexes to inflation and hasn't published next year's figure, we wait for it rather than guess.

When do the emails arrive?

On the free plan, 30 days before a change and on the day it takes effect. Wage Watch adds reminders 60, 30, 7 days out.

Does a city alert cover the state too?

Yes. If you watch a city, you also hear about statewide changes, because a state increase can overtake a city's rate.

How do I cancel?

Every email has a link to your settings, where you can unsubscribe in one click. Paid plans cancel from the billing page, and you keep Wage Watch until the end of the month you paid for.
