Florida's minimum wage is $14.00 per hour, effective September 30, 2025, with a tipped cash wage of $10.98. Under Amendment 2, approved by voters in 2020, the rate takes its final fixed step to $15.00 on September 30, 2026, after which it will adjust annually for inflation. Florida preempts local minimum wages, so the state rate applies everywhere in Florida.

Florida has no state overtime law, so the federal FLSA applies: non-exempt employees earn 1.5x their regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. There is no daily overtime requirement. One Florida-specific wrinkle: under Fla. Stat. 448.01, manual laborers without a written contract are entitled to extra pay for work beyond 10 hours in a day.
Florida has no state salary threshold for exempt employees, so the federal FLSA threshold of $684 per week ($35,568 per year) applies, together with the federal duties tests.
The enforced FLSA exempt salary threshold is $684 per week ($35,568 per year). The 2024 DOL rule that briefly raised it to $1,128 per week was vacated by federal courts in Texas in late 2024, and the DOL formally withdrew the rule on May 14, 2026, restoring the 2019 level.
Florida's minimum wage is $14.00 per hour for most of 2026, a rate that took effect September 30, 2025. It rises to $15.00 per hour on September 30, 2026 — the final step of the schedule voters approved in Amendment 2 (2020).
Tipped employees in Florida must receive a direct cash wage of at least $10.98 per hour (the state minimum minus the $3.02 tip credit). On September 30, 2026, the tipped cash wage rises to $11.98. If tips plus cash wage do not reach the full minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference.
On September 30, 2026. That is the last fixed increase under Amendment 2. Starting September 30, 2027, Florida's minimum wage will be adjusted annually for inflation using the CPI-W index.
Salaried employees still get overtime unless they are properly classified as exempt under the FLSA. That requires a salary of at least $684 per week ($35,568 per year) and passing a duties test (executive, administrative, or professional). Paying a salary alone does not remove the right to overtime.
No. Florida law preempts local minimum wage ordinances for private employers, so the state rate of $14.00 (rising to $15.00 on September 30, 2026) applies statewide, including Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville.
Generally no — overtime in Florida follows the federal 40-hour weekly standard. The narrow exception is Fla. Stat. 448.01, which entitles manual laborers without a written contract to extra pay for working more than 10 hours in a day.
