Florida Wage & Employment Calculators
Florida wage law is anchored by Article X, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution (approved by voters via Amendment 2 in 2020), establishing an annual $1.00 step schedule reaching $15.00 per hour on September 30, 2026. Florida enforces a strict statewide local minimum wage preemption under Fla. Stat. § 218.077, a mandatory 15-day pre-suit notice requirement under Fla. Stat. § 448.110, and prevailing party attorney fee awards under Fla. Stat. § 448.08. Use our verified calculators to audit compliance and compute statutory back pay.
