Last update: 02/10/2020

Florida’s minimum wage went up a dime on January 1, 2020, to $8.56 per hour.

Not a lot, but heading in the right direction for Florida workers in that wage bracket, and far above the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour.

The Florida rate is now $5.54 per hour for tipped employees in the hospitality industry.

Happy New Year!

I am pleased to have been honored to join the panel of leading Central Florida HR experts to discuss “The Science of Hiring – Recruiting and Hiring Capable, Self-Motivated People” on April 11, 2017 before the Central Florida Council.

This lively panel discussion will take a look at challenges of both the job seeker and the hiring manager to find one another in our digital world.

This event will take place at DeVry University, 7352 Greenbriar Pkwy., Orlando, FL 32819 from 11:30 am-1:00 pm.

For more details, please contact cfec.org and look for the April meeting.

I hope to see you April 11!

Rick
