Employer Alert: Pennsylvania Adopts New Minimum Wage Effective January 1, 2007
August 2006
BY: JOHN K. BAKER AND RICK GRIMALDI
Attention All Employers
On July 9, 2006, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell signed new legislation increasing the state’s minimum wage above the federally mandated $5.15 an hour. This marks the first change in the minimum wage in almost ten years. Pennsylvania joins the 19 other states who have increased their minimum wage, including New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Maryland. The new law, SB 1090, increases the state minimum wage in two steps: from $5.15 to $6.25 an hour on January 1, 2007, and from $6.25 to $7.15 an hour on July 1, 2007.

$6.25
Per act signed into law July 10, 2006, this increased to $6.25 on January 1, 2007 and will increase to $7.15 on July 1, 2007. For companies with ten or fewer employees: $5.65 by January 1, 2007, $6.65 by July 1, 2007, and $7.15 by July 1, 2008. The current tipped wage, $2.83, will not increase with this Act.
