In November 2020, Florida voters approved changes to the state’s minimum wage, which will gradually increase from the current $8.65 an hour to $15 an hour by September 2026. To comply, employers must implement the following hourly minimum wage schedule for non-tipped employees:

Effective Date
Florida Minimum Wage
January 1, 2021
$8.65
September 30, 2021
$10.00
September 30, 2022
$11.00
September 30, 2023
$12.00
September 30, 2024
$13.00
September 30, 2025
$14.00
September 30, 2026
$15.00

Effective September 30, 2021, the new Florida minimum hourly rate will be $10. Accordingly, all employers are required to pay employees at least the new minimum rate of $10 an hour or $6.98 plus tips for tipped employees.

All employees making less than $10 an hour as of September 30, 2021, will be systematically increased in OMNI HR. Please use this notification as an opportunity to plan budgets accordingly.

The University employs both hourly and salaried employees who will be impacted by these changes over the next five years. Additional communications will be forthcoming as we continue to evaluate future impact to the University’s salaried pay structure.
