he federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour, but individual states are allowed to impose a higher minimum wage, and some do. In New York, the minimum wage is $11.80 an hour as of 2020, and it is scheduled to increase to $12.50 an hour in 2021. In addition, New York City has its own minimum wage. The general minimum wage in NYC is currently $15.00 an hour for both large and small employers. Minimum Wage for Fast Food Workers New York also imposes different minimum wages by industry. For instance, fast food industry workers in NYC make at least $15.00 an hour, while those outside the city are guaranteed a minimum wage of $13.75 per hour. The minimum wage for all fast-food workers in New York State will be increasing to $15.00 across the board over the next few years. Minimum Wage for Tipped Employees Tipped workers also receive a minimum wage, although it is considerably less than the general minimum wage since wages make up only a portion of tipped workers’ incomes. The federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $4.35. In New York, rates vary by region. Presently, the minimum wage for tipped workers of both large and small employers in New York City is $10.00 an hour. The minimum is somewhat less in Long Island and Westchester and even lower in the rest of the state, although increases are currently scheduled. The minimum wage is not the whole story for tipped employees, as their employers are allowed to take a “tip credit” by paying them less than the applicable minimum wage. The federal tip credit is currently $2.13, while the tip credit in New York City is $5.00 an hour. Employers often misapply the tip credit, sending their employees’ wages below the minimum wage. If your tips and wages combined don’t add up to at least the applicable minimum wage, your employer is taking too much of a tip credit and should increase your wages, so you are at least making minimum wage.
