Attention employers: Florida minimum wage is now $7.3102 Jun
The state of Florida recently issued a notice to employers regarding minimum wage:
The revised 2011 minimum wage in Florida is $7.31 per hour, effective June 1, 2011, with a minimum wage of at least $4.29 per hour for tipped employees, in addition to tips.
The minimum wage rate is recalculated yearly on September 30, based on the Consumer Price Index.
An employer may not retaliate against an employee for exercising his or her right to receive the minimum wage. Rights protected by the State Constitution include the right to:
1. File a complaint about an employer’s alleged noncompliance with lawful minimum wage requirements.
2. Inform any person about an employer’s alleged noncompliance with lawful minimum wage requirements.
3. Inform any person of his or her potential rights under Section 24, Article X of the State Constitution and to assist him or her in asserting such rights.
An employee who has not received the lawful minimum wage after notifying his or her employer and giving the employer 15 days to resolve any claims for unpaid wages may bring a civil action in a court of law against an employer to recover back wages plus damages and attorney’s fees.
An employer found liable for intentionally violating minimum wage requirements is subject to a fine of $1,000 per violation, payable to the state. The Attorney General or other official designated by the Legislature may bring a civil action to enforce the minimum wage.
For details, see Section 24, Article X of the State Constitution and Section 448.110, Florida Statutes.
