Youth Minimum Wage

Minimum Wage for Tipped Employees in Certain States

• Some states have higher minimum wages for tipped employees, which may be higher than the federal minimum wage. For example:
  • California: $14.00 per hour
  • New York: $12.50 per hour
  • Washington: $12.00 per hour

Minimum Wage for Small Employers

• Employers with 25 or fewer employees may be exempt from the federal minimum wage requirements, but must pay at least the state minimum wage.

Note: These rates are subject to change, and some states may have their own minimum wage laws that are higher than the federal minimum wage.

It's also important to note that some cities and counties may have their own minimum wage laws, which may be higher than the state or federal minimum wage. For example:

• San Francisco, California: $16.32 per hour
• Seattle, Washington: $16.39 per hour
• New York City, New York: $15.00 per hour

It's always a good idea to check with your employer or local government to determine the minimum wage requirements in your area.
