Minimum Wage Climbs to $11.10/Hour in Upstate NY, $15/Hour in New York City

January 2, 2019 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

ALBANY – The minimum wage increase in New York State took effect on Monday, rising to $15 for large employers in New York City and continuing to rise all across the state, including $11.10 in areas of Upstate, including Chautauqua County.

The minimum wage legislation was passed as part of the 2016-17 state budget, and marked a major accomplishment in the Governor’s efforts to restore economic justice and fairness to working families in New York State.

Locally, the minimum wage will increase another $0.70 each year until it reaches $12.50 on at the end of 2020- after which the minimum wage will continue to increase to $15 on an indexed schedule to be set by the Director of the Division of Budget in consultation with the Department of Labor.

Governor Andrew Cuomo reminds workers to contact the Wage Theft Hotline (1-888-4-NYSDOL) to report employers not complying with the increase.
