Florida’s minimum wage will increase to $14 an hour on Sept. 30, as the state continues carrying out a constitutional amendment that eventually will lead to a $15 minimum wage.

Voters in 2020 approved the constitutional amendment, which was spearheaded by prominent Orlando lawyer John Morgan.

The minimum wage went to $10 an hour on Sept. 30, 2021 and has been increasing by $1 every Sept. 30 since.

It is required to increase by this amount until it hits $15 an hour in 2026. After that, it will be adjusted annually based on inflation.

Florida law says the minimum wage for tipped workers must increase accordingly. It was $9.98 last year and will also go up to $10.98 at the end of September.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.
