On November 3rd, 2020, Florida voted on Florida Amendment 2, the $15 Minimum Wage Initiative. “Yes” received more than 60% of the votes, the new minimum wage will be $15 in September 2026.
What does that mean for now?
It means that starting on Thursday, September 30th, 2021, work done in the state of Florida will need to be paid at $10/ hour for non- tipped employees, and $6.98/ hour for tipped employees.
The increased wage will likely be in the middle of a pay period. If that is the case be sure to review your employees hours to ensure that they are paid correctly. If you need to split time please let as know as soon as possible.
The minimum wage will increase by a dollar per year until it reaches $15 in September of 2026.
The linked notice should be hanging at your workplace to make your employees aware of the change.
