: Florida Workers’ Compensation Law BlogFederal Minimum Wage Set to Increase
By David A. McCranie, Esq.
The federal minimum wage is set to increase to from $5.85 per hour to $6.55 per hour on July 24. That means the compensation for non-professional attendant care rendered by family members and necessitated by an on-the-job accident in Florida will also increase because that compensation is pegged to the federal minimum wage. See §440.13(2)(b)1, Fla. Stat.
As I wrote here, two judges of compensation claims have held that this statute has been superseded by the enactment of Florida's own minimum wage law. The state minimum wage is currently set at $6.79 per hour (effective 1/1/2008) with another increase scheduled to go into effect on 1/1/2009.
