Beginning on January 1, 2013, Florida's minimum wage will increase from $7.67 to $7.79 per hour, which is a 1.5% increase. Florida requires a new minimum wage calculation each year on September 30. This is based on the Consumer Price Index. If calculation is higher than the federal rate, which is currently $7.25, then the state's rates take effect the following January. Beginning in January, "tipped employees" should be receiving a new pay rate of $4.77 per hour.
Make sure that if you are not receiving the higher minimum wage amount in January, that you immediately inform your employer.
