It is a new year. Are you being paid the proper hourly rate?
Hi, my name is Doug Lipsky. I am an employment lawyer.
With the start of a new year, many states increase their minimum wage.
For example, New York increased its minimum wage from $16.50 to $17. New Jersey increased its minimum wage from $15.49 to $15.92.
It is important to check the minimum wage in the state where you work to see if it has increased.
You should also confirm that your employer is paying you the correct rate.
If your employer is paying less than the required minimum wage, they are breaking the law.
