The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity has released an updated “Minimum Wage” Notice.

Effective Jan.1, 2014, the minimum wage in the state of Florida will increase from $7.79 per hour to $7.93 per hour. The 14-cent increase correlates with the cost-of-living change based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The same evaluation and adjustment will be made by Sept. 30 of each year.

An employer may not retaliate against an employee for exercising his or her right to receive the minimum wage. Rights protected by the State Constitution include the right to:

1. File a complaint about an employer’s alleged noncompliance with lawful minimum wage requirements.

2. Inform any person about an employer’s alleged noncompliance with lawful minimum wage requirements.

3. Inform any person of his or her potential rights under Section 24, Article X of the State Constitution and to assist him or her in asserting such rights.

An employee who has not received the lawful minimum wage after notifying his or her employer and giving the employer 15 days to resolve any claims for unpaid wages may bring a civil action in a court of law against an employer to recover back wages plus damages and attorney’s fees.

An employer found liable for intentionally violating minimum wage requirements is subject to a fine of $1,000 per violation, payable to the state. The Attorney General or other official designated by the Legislature may bring a civil action to enforce the minimum wage.

Ensure your full compliance by procuring your copy of the new Florida Minimum Wage Poster and display it for all your employees to see. It is a mandatory posting that must be updated each time there are changes.

Our Florida Minimum Wage Panel is specially designed to be posted over the outdated portion of the Space Saver 1 Federal and State Labor Law Poster for Florida.

As labor laws continue to evolve, maintaining up-to-date 2026 labor law posters helps federal employers remain inspection-ready and avoid costly penalties.
