Changes Based on Consumer Price Index
Minimum Wage
To demonstrate how inflation is affecting annual adjustments, below we identify: 1) current and future wage rates; 2) whether the annual adjustment uses CPI-U (Consumers) or CPI-W (Workers); 3) the time period the jurisdiction uses when determining the applicable inflation rate; 4) the percentage by which the rate is changing (if the law caps how much the rate can increase, we note “Cap”); and 5) whether and how the jurisdiction “rounds” the adjusted figure to a nearest monetary decimal figure.

Post-July 1, 2022 Changes (Preset)
On September 30, 2022, in Florida the minimum wage and minimum cash wage for tipped employees will increase $1.00 per hour to $11.00 and $7.98 per hour, respectively, with the maximum tip credit remaining at $3.02 per hour.
Employers in Hawaii are waiting to see whether the governor will sign HB 2510, which proposes multiple minimum wage increases, the first of which would occur on October 1, 2022, when the minimum wage would increase by $1.90 per hour to $12.00, and the maximum tip credit would increase 25 cents to $1.00 per hour if the employee’s direct wage plus tips is at least $7 more than the minimum wage, i.e., $19.00 per hour.
