The New Jersey minimum wage starting in 2022 is now $13/hour in most cases. Some exceptions are tipped employees, some student workers and other exempt occupations.
New Jersey's minimum wage rate is linked to a Consumer Price Index, in order to raise the rate to be in line with inflation. The minimum wage rate is re-evaluated yearly based on these values.
- Seasonal and small businesses (fewer than 6) is $11.90.
- Agriculture workers: $10.90.
- Tipped minimum wage: $5.13.
College students may be paid as little as 85% of the minimum wage by their college or university, and certain occupations held by minors under age 18 are completely exempt.
Employees at nonprofit or religious summer camps or retreats are exempt from the minimum wage between June and September.
Unlike most other states, seasonal and agricultural workers are not exempt from the minimum wage.
New Jersey employers may not pay you under $13.00 per hour unless you or your occupation are specifically exempt from the minimum wage under state or federal law.
