Florida employers need to prepare for a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour on September 30. And if you have tipped employees, you will need to pay them at least $11.98.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2020, Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment that gradually increases the state\u2019s minimum wage to $15 per hour for most non-exempt employees by 2026. Notably, the tip credit for Florida hospitality employers that claim it will remain $3.02 per hour, which means you\u2019ll have to cover the extra dollar for tipped employees, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state\u2019s hourly minimum wage increased from $8.65 to $10 in 2021 and has been rising by $1.00 each year on September 30. This September brings the final increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
