What is the minimum wage in Florida?

Question

I'm 16 and was just wondering if I'm being paid right.

Answer 1

Florida's minimum wage is $6.67 per hour, effective January 1, 2007.

The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007.

In deciding whether the federal or state minimum wage applies, federal law directs that businesses must pay the higher of the two. The Florida minimum wage will prevail over the federal rate until such time as the federal minimum wage becomes higher than the state rate.
