  • Minimum wage rate for non-tipped workers: $8.56 per hour.
  • Minimum wage rate for tipped workers: $5.54 per hour.
Florida’s minimum wage is recalculated yearly according to increases in the cost of living. The 2020 minimum wage rates represent a 1.12% increase over the previous year.
All employers with one or more employees who are subject to the Minimum Wage Law are required to prominently display the Florida Minimum Wage posting in a conspicuous and accessible place in each establishment where such employees are employed. (Florida Statutes §448.109)

  • Text has been revised to clarify that discharges related to misconduct may result in disqualification with a penalty period and a set amount of wages have been earned with new employment.
  • Text has been revised to clarify that voluntarily quitting a job may result in disqualification until a set amount of wages have been earned with new employment.
  • The revision date on the posting has been updated.
The Unemployment Compensation Law requires all employers with one or more employees to display and maintain the Unemployment Insurance posting in places readily accessible to employees. (Florida Statutes §443.151)
