The minimum wage in Florida is $11 an hour, as of September 30, 2022. Because this is higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25, employees in The Sunshine State must be paid at least $11 an hour.
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the “floor” minimum wage for eligible workers in the U.S. This means most workers can't be paid less than the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 an hour. But, many states and some local governments set their own minimum wage. Workers are entitled to be paid the highest minimum wage that applies where they work, whether it is set by federal, state, or local law.
