A new Florida law enacted in 2004 requires that the state minimum wage be reevaluated every year to ensure that employee wages are keeping pace with inflation. Currently (effective January 1, 2006) the minimum wage in Florida is $6.40 / hour for non-tipped employees. Tipped employees are paid $3.38 / hour plus their earned tips - this combined total must equal at least $6.40 / hour or the company must make up the difference.
The state minimum wage will be reevaluted again for a new wage increase on January 1, 2007.
It is true that the federal minimum wage law is less than the Florida state minimum wage, however employers are required to pay the higher prevailing wage. Thus all employees working in Florida must be paid at least $6.40 / hour, regardless of federal law.
