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 lowest-paid workers in Connecticut got about a 5% raise to $9.60 at the start of 2016, under a law that's gradually raising Connecticut's minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.
