In Long Island and Westchester counties, the minimum wage is $13.00 per hour. In the remainder of the state, the minimum wage is $11.80 per hour.
The following New York Industry Specific Wage Orders have also been updated with the new minimum wage rates:
All employers who are subject to the Minimum Wage Act are required to prominently display the New York Minimum Wage posting and applicable wage order in a conspicuous and accessible place in each establishment where employees are employed. (Article 19 for the New York State Labor Law, Section 661)
