FLORIDA MINIMUM WAGE

The Florida minimum wage is $7.21 per hour, with a minimum wage of at least $4.19 per hour for tipped employees, in addition to tips. Florida’s new minimum wage is in effect as of January 1, 2009 until July 23, 2009. On July 24, 2009 the new Federal minimum wage of $7.25 will replace Florida’s minimum wage.


The rate of the minimum wage is recalculated yearly on September 30, based on the Consumer Price Index. Every year on January 1, the new Florida minimum wage takes effect.
