Effective January 1, 2014, the minimum hourly wage for
non-exempt employees increased in both New Jersey and New York. In New Jersey, the minimum wage increased from
$7.25 to $8.25 per hour. In New York,
the minimum wage increased from $7.25 to $8.00 per hour. Employers need to be aware of these changes
and must pay their non-exempt employees no less than that minimum hourly wage
for each regular hour worked.
Please feel free to contact Connell Foley’s employment law
attorneys for guidance on implementing the minimum wage increase or any other
wage and hour issue your company may be facing.
