Vermont minimum wage to increase to $8.06 January 1

The minimum wage in Vermont will increase from $7.68 to $8.06 per hour on January 1, Governor Jim Douglas recently announced. The basic wage for tipped employees will also increase from $3.72 to $3.91 per hour. Service or tipped employees are individuals working in places who customarily and regularly receive more than $120 a month in tips for direct and personal service. Tipped employees', like other workers', total earnings during a pay period must equal or exceed $8.06 per hour. If a combination of tips and the basic wage do not meet that requirement, the employer makes up the difference. (State of Vermont, Office of the Governor, Press Release, September 25, 2008.)
