Attention employers, it’s time to get ready for the annual increase to the New York minimum wage. The state’s minimum wage law passed back in 2016 provides for annual increases that become effective at the end of each year. New York City wages are highest but we don’t have many farm employers there. Long Island and Westchester minimum wage goes to $13.00 on December 31, 2018 and the “remainder of New York” minimum wage increases to $11.10 on the same date. Make sure you update your payrolls at the end of this month to reflect the change in pay beginning January 1, 2019. Details can be found at New York state’s minimum wage website.
Also remember to update your mandatory state minimum wage poster. You can find a copy at the same state website. Right now the old version for 2018 is still up so we need to wait a few more weeks until the new version is posted.
