The second step raises the minimum wage to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016.eginning January 1, 2016 the new minimum salary required will be $41,600. It is imperative to understand and remember that paying the minimum salary alone itself will not qualify a position for exempt status, there are also duties and time spent tests that must be met.
