ALBANY- The state’s minimum wage is scheduled to step up again beginning on January 1, 2024. The increase means that all parts of the state will finally see a $15 per hour minimum wage.
Beginning in the new year, the minimum wage in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County will be $16 per hour. The rest of the state will bump up to $15 per hour.
“On January 1, we are lifting New York’s minimum wage to help hard-working New Yorkers keep up with rising costs and continue supporting their families,” Governor Hochul said. “If you are a minimum wage worker and you don’t see this increase in your paycheck next year, I urge you to file a wage complaint with the Department of Labor to make sure that you are getting the wage increase you deserve.”
Wage complaints can be filed with the state Department of Labor on their website, or by calling 833-910-4378.
