Effective January 1, 2025, the minimum wages across New York state are higher.
Employers should double check and make sure they are now paying their non-exempt employees the minimum rates as set forth below:
In New York, Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties, at least $16.50 per hour.
In all other counties, the minimum rate is now $15.50.
As a reminder, employers who fail to pay employees correctly can end up owing double damages, attorney’s fees, and other penalties.
