Effective Jan. 1, 2025, a combined General Wage Increase (GWI) and Cost-Of-Living-Adjustment (COLA) of 5.5 percent will apply for employees represented by the King County Coalition of Unions and non-represented employees.

Employees will start to see the increase on their paychecks after Jan. 1, 2025. You can find the 2025 Wage Tables here.

Represented employees whose unions are not part of the Coalition of Unions should reach out to their union representatives for questions about their applicable increase. You can also review your union’s contract any time on this website. You can also reach out to your HR manager with questions.
