What is the minimum wage in Florida?

I was paid less than the Florida minimum wage for four months, am I owed money?

  • I work about 20-25 hours a week part time at a restaurant, since January 2012, and I was paid $4.29 an hour up until May. My pay just increased for the last paycheck from $4.29 to $4.65 (which is the minimum wage for TIPPED employees in Florida). Does this mean that I am actually owed money from my employer for the underpayment from January to May? http://www.floridajobs.org/minimumwage/Announcement-FL_MinWage2012.pdf The minimum wage change was effective January 1, 2012.

  • Answer:

    I suggest that you pick up the telephone and ask the state's Department of Labor! Good luck to you!

If you are a tipped employee in FL that is the minimum wage, if your tips do not add up to 7.67 an hour with the tipped minimum wage then your employer is required to make up the difference, but that would mean you are not good at your job and would most likely get you fired,

The minimum wage is only $4.65 in Florida? That is insane (even with tips). Yes, they owe you that money. You can contact your state's Department of Labor and report it.
