Florida's minimum wage is $6.67 per hour effective January 1, 2007 for all hours worked in Florida. This represents a 27-cent increase from the $6.40 per hour minimum wage in 2006. Florida's minimum wage was created in a constitutional amendment approved by voters on November 2, 2004, and covers all employees in the state covered by the federal minimum wage.
Florida's minimum wage is $1.52 more than the current $5.15 federal minimum wage.
Florida Statutes require that employers who must pay their employees the Florida minimum wage must post a minimum wage notice in a conspicuous and accessible place in each establishment where such employees are employed. This poster requirement is in addition to the federal requirement to post a notice of the federal minimum wage. Florida's minimum wage poster is available for downloading in English and Spanish from the Agency for Workforce Innovation's web page at www.floridajobs.org/resources/fl_min_wage.html. The federal poster can be downloaded from the U.S. Department of Labor web site at: http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/posters/flsa.htm.
