Minimum wage increases 9-cents on New Year s Day for Florida workers
By Amanda McKenzie
The wage is only going up by a few pennies.
ORLANDO, Fla. - On the first day of the New Year, every minimum wage employee in Florida is getting a raise.
The hourly wage is up 9-cents, bringing it to $8.65 an hour. The same increase applies to tipped employees who will now earn $5.63 an hour. The little increase here is no big deal, said Greg Granda, owner of Shakers Restaurant in College Park. It’s the one that goes into effect I think in September and then every year raises for the next five years.
