On September 30, 2022, the minimum wage in Florida will increase from $10 per hour to $11 per hour for standard employees and from $6.98 per hour to $7.98 per hour for tipped workers. This increase is part of the state’s plan to raise the rate to $15 per hour by 2026.
Ogletree Deakins will continue to monitor and report on developments with respect to Florida’s wage and hour issues and will post updates on the firm’s Florida and Wage and Hour blogs well as on the firm’s Interactive Minimum Wage Chart (which reflects impending minimum wage changes across the country) as additional information becomes available. Important information for employers is also available via the firm’s webinar and podcast programs.
