The current Connecticut minimum wage of $10.10 per hour is the lowest amount a non-exempt employee in Connecticut can legally be paid for hourly work. Special minimum wage rates, such as the Connecticut waitress minimum wage for tipped employees, may apply to certain workers.
The current minimum wage rate is re-evaluated yearly based on these values. Massachusetts has raised the minimum wage to $10.00 per hour as of January 2016, and it is scheduled to raise again to $11.00 on January 1, 2017. Minimum wage had been raised from $8.00 per hour to $9.00 per hour in January 2015.
