Beginning on September 30, 2025, the state minimum wage will increase to $14 an hour. This change is part of the voter-approved plan to gradually raise wages until Florida reaches $15 an hour in 2026.

If you earn tips, the increase applies to you as well. Your base pay must rise to $10.98 an hour starting September 30, 2025. By September 30, 2026, that base pay will move to $11.98 anhour. Employers are still required to make sure your total pay, including tips, equals at least the regular minimum wage.

Our firm has filed a multi-state collective action lawsuit on behalf of servers and bartenders who have worked at Hampton Social restaurants during the last three years. The complaint alleges serious violations of federal wage laws, including claims of unpaid wages, off-the-clock work, and improper tip practices at several of the company’s locations. The complaint also alleges that the company has adopted an illegal pay system to pay its servers and bartenders from mandatory gratuities or service charges.

If you worked at a Hampton Social location in Florida at any point since April 2022, your rights may have been violated, and you may be entitled to compensation.
