PrintIf you get paid less than minimum wage, or your employer is breaking other wage/hour laws, you can file a complaint. The agencies that enforce minimum wage laws can help you get the wages you earned.
In 2018, the Massachusetts Legislature established new minimum wage amounts for both tipped and non-tipped employees that will provide for incremental yearly increases in wages. Those specific amounts are as follows:
Tipped Employees
- January 1, 2019 - $12.00
- January 1, 2020 - $12.75
- January 1, 2021 - $13.50
- January 1, 2022 - $14.25
- January 1, 2023 - $15.00
Non-Tipped Employees
- January 1, 2019 - $4.35
- January 1, 2020 - $4.95
- January 1, 2021 - $5.55
- January 1, 2022 - $6.15
- January 1, 2023 - $6.75
