As we start the New Year, New Jersey state employers should make
sure they are prepared to pay more to minimum wage workers. Based
upon the voter-approved amendment to New Jersey's Constitution,
which provides an annual cost of living increase to the state's
minimum wage – effective January 1, 2015, the statewide
hourly minimum wage for employees will rise from $8.25 per hour to
$8.38 per hour. Employers must ensure that all
work performed by employees on and after January 1, 2015, is
compensated at this increased rate.
