Very Recent Minimum Wage Changes in New York Include Tipped Employees
If you have a minimum wage job, and your boss is not paying you the legal required minimum wage, you may have the right to sue for DOUBLE THE AMOUNT of What He Didn’t Pay You!
If you work in NYC, Long Island or Westchester, in most cases the legal minimum wage went up to $16.50 per hour as of January 1, 2025, and $24.75 per hour for overtime hours.
If you are a hospitality worker, like a waiter, and you regularly get enough tips in addition to your hourly pay, the legal minimum wage can go down to $13.50, but to justify this, the restaurant must follow complicated rules which they commonly fail to do – which means they should have been paying you the regular minimum wage – in addition to all of your tips.
These are general rules, and you might be entitled to more or less depending on many things which would take too long to explain here, but you can call us any time at the Law Offices of William Cafaro: (212) 583-7400, or visit us online and we will be happy to give you a free consultation to discuss the job you are currently not being paid minimum wage.
If we take your wage case, you never pay us any fee unless we recover money from your employer, just like in an accident case.
You have absolutely nothing to lose and the call is free. Call us any time or any day, and we’ll answer your questions about what your boss does and doesn’t have to pay you.
