All State Minimum Wage Chart |
|
Information updated to January 1, 2008

|

The following quick reference chart lists the current
minimum wage rates for all states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico. State minimum wages below the federal minimum wage of $5.85 till
7/23/08 and $6.55 from 7/24/08 to 724/09 apply only to employees not covered
by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In addition, the chart lists the tip
credit percentages employers may apply toward the minimum wage, plus the
computed actual tip credit amount and the resulting minimum cash wage for
tipped employees based on the state minimum wage. (Federal Minimum Wage
rises to $7.25 on 7/24/09)
Employers subject to the federal minimum wage must apply the state tip
credit percentage to the federal minimum wage to calculate the actual tip
credit amount and the resulting minimum cash wage required under state law.
Where the state tip credit differs from the federal, the employer must
separately calculate the tip credit and minimum cash wage under both federal
and state law and follow the law yielding the higher cash wage.
