On December 31, 2016, New York’s minimum wage rate increased from $9.00 per hour to $9.70 per hour. Our readers may remember that the New York State Legislature passed legislation that would raise the state minimum wage for all hourly wage workers in accordance with a prescribed schedule. The following minimum wage rates, which are reflected in the new minimum wage posting, will increase to:
- $11.00 per hour for workers in New York City employed by large businesses (11 or more employees),
- $10.50 per hour for workers in New York City employed by small businesses (10 or more employees),
- $10.00 per hour for workers in Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties, and
- $9.70 per hour for workers in rest of the state.
