It went to $5.85 effective 7/24, so you should see a raise in your next paycheck for any hours worked that day or later.
Devil queen, by the way, doesn't have anything right in her answer.

You will receive it for all wages that were earned after last Tuesday, so for hours you worked before it went into effect you will receive the old rate, unless for some reason your employer just changes it across the board. Also as one other person said, the minimum wage is a national minimum there are about a dozen states with numbers higher.

yes, but some states minimum wage is actually higher than the federal minimum wage.

I'm not sure when minimum wage goes up (it doesnt really apply here cuz state minimum is 7.25) but yes when it goes up so will your wage.
If you have any questions about it just ask your boss

Took effect last Tuesday night at midnight, and will kick in on your next paycheck.
PS. And Samantha nailed it!
