Connecticut Minimum Wage Increase
Effective September 1, 2020, the minimum wage in Connecticut increases from $11.00 to $12.00 per hour. The maximum tip credit increases to $5.62 for service employees and $3.77 for bartenders, as long as the employee makes at least minimum wage with tips.
As the minimum wage increases in subsequent years, the amount of allowable tip credit will correspondingly increase to make up the difference between the employer's share (frozen at the $6.38 and $8.23 for hotel and restaurant staff and bartenders, respectively) and the new minimum wage.
The subminimum training wage is effectively repealed.
