WHAT IS THE CURRENT MINIMUM WAGE IN NEW YORK STATE?

A: Effective July 24, 2009 the minimum wage for covered employees is $7.25 per hour. This amount may be modified in certain jobs -- for example, waiters and waitresses who earn at least $2.55 per hour in tips may be paid at a lower rate because the tips make up the difference. Different rates exist for other types of service employees as well. The Dept. of Labor has issued a "Wage Order" which addresses the industries and occupations that are not required to adhere to the minimum wage.
