This amount was established by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Aside from minimum wage requirements, FLSA also details federal laws regarding overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth labor standards.<\/p>\n<h2>Federal vs state vs local minimum wage<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour was put into place in 2009 and has gone unchanged since.\u00a0<\/strong> However, the majority of <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/wage-and-hour-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wage and hour laws<\/a> across many states and local jurisdictions are different from the federal amount and change on a regular base. Here we\u2019ll go through the specifics and point out some key differences between federal vs state vs local minimum wage.<\/p>\n<h3>Federal minimum wage<\/h3>\n<p>According to federal law, it is illegal for <strong>employers subject to FLSA<\/strong> to pay employees less than $7.25 per hour for untipped workers and $2.15 per hour for tipped workers, across the United States.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If an employer\u2019s state minimum wage is higher than this amount, the employer must pay the higher of the two.<\/strong> For example, if an employee works in Florida, which has a state minimum wage of $13.00 per hour, you would disregard the Federal minimum wage and pay employees the determined state minimum.<\/p>\n<p>If a state\u2019s minimum wage is lower than the federal minimum wage, or if there is no set state minimum wage, <strong>it would only be legally acceptable to pay employees less than $7.25 if they are exempt from FLSA minimum wage laws.<\/strong> To find out which forms of labor are exempt from federal minimum wage and overtime laws, consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/webapps.dol.gov\/elaws\/whd\/flsa\/screen75.asp#:~:text=Executive%2C%20administrative%2C%20professional%20and%20outside,overtime%20provisions%20of%20the%20FLSA.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Labor website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>State minimum wage<\/h3>\n<p>Apart from federal wage jurisdiction, the majority of states have minimum wage and labor laws that employers need to abide by. There are many states whose minimum wages increase on an annual basis, and usually, the increments take place at the beginning (January 1st) or halfway (July 1st) through the year. <strong>This year, the minimum wage increase in 2025 will affect 21 states.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your team is remote, <strong>you must pay employees based on the wages of their residence states, regardless of your business\u2019s location.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Local minimum wage<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, employers should keep in mind that <strong>local jurisdiction also varies within certain districts and municipalities.<\/strong> If an employee is working from a locality with an established \u201cliving wage\u201d regulation that is higher than the state and federal minimum, <strong>you must pay them according to local jurisdiction, rather than the regulated state wage.<\/strong> The best way to ensure this is by checking local department of commerce websites. Pay differences by industry might also play a factor in established local minimum wages.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019d like to keep track of legal changes and deadlines in the coming year but don\u2019t know where to get started. Keeping a <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/hr-compliance-calendar-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR compliance calendar<\/a> will help you to plan ahead and stay on top of legal changes and make sure you don\u2019t make any mistakes while managing your team\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/templates\/2023-hr-compliance-calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR compliance calendar template,<\/a> you can keep track of important dates and deadlines and make updates based on your team\u2019s local and state laws.<\/strong> That way, keeping track of deadlines and staying on top of compliance in the coming year will be less daunting and more straightforward.<\/p>\n<h2>Minimum wage increases in 2025 and beyond<\/h2>\n<p>In 2025, a total of <strong>21 states will see a minimum wage increase<\/strong> over the course of the year. As inflation and cost of living are making it difficult for residents of these states to afford their basic needs, some states have also stated from 2025 on they will begin adjusting their minimum wage according to<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, there has been a steady minimum wage increase state by state. Some states, like <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/hawaii-minimum-wage\/\">Hawaii<\/a> for example, have planned incremental growth. For example, the <strong>Hawaiian minimum wage increases by $2.00 per hour.<\/strong> In 2022, the minimum wage increased from $10.00 to $12.00 per hour. We saw another increase in 2024 from $12.00 to $14.00 per hour until they ultimately reach <strong>$18 per hour by 2028<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While the majority of the changes will take place on January 1st, 2025, there are a few that are planning to increase their minimum wages later on in the year.
