Florida's minimum wage will increase by six cents an hour to $7.31 on June 1 after a Leon County judge ruled that the State's agency was miscalculating the rate.
This is all based on the constitutional amendment passed by voters in November of 2004 that set a minimum wage that would increase with inflation.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of four individual workers and three groups representing employees claimed the agengy violated the state constitution by keeping the minimum wage at the federal rate of $7.25.
The Agency for Workforce Innovation posted the information on their site. http://www.floridajobs.org/minimumwage/index.htm. (This is the same site to get the new poster without a charge.)
Tipped workers like servers and bartenders will see an increase in their minium wage from $4.23 to $4.29 per hour.
The poster requirement is in addition to the federal requirement to post oa notice of the federal minimum wage.
