In Florida, the minimum wage is currently $12 per hour (as of September 2023), with tipped employees earning $8.98 per hour. The minimum wage will increase to $15 on September 30, 2026. Agricultural workers paid by piecework must receive earnings equivalent to at least the minimum wage, but they are not eligible for overtime pay. Farms with fewer than seven employees in a calendar quarter are exempt from minimum wage protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
According to the FLSA, employees must receive overtime pay, at a rate not less than 1.5 times their regular pay, for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Overtime is not required for work on weekends, holidays, or regular days of rest unless overtime is accrued on those days.
If you suspect wrongful denial of overtime pay, family or medical leave, or minimum wage, contact the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. You can find guidance for filing a complaint through their website or by phone:
