Editor’s comment: On July 1, 2009: the minimum wage increase takes employees 18 years or older from a minimum of $7.75 up to $8.00 per hour. Tipped employees will increase from $4.65 up to $4.80. Employers may still deduct 50 cents off of the minimum wage for employees in the first 90 days with the employer or for minors under the age of 18 ($7.50). However, an under age 18 new employee may not be paid 50 cents less for both criteria (the employer can only take one 50 cent deduction). Tipped employees under 18 must now be paid $4.50, an increase from the previous $4.35.
