The minimum wage in New Jersey is the same as the Federal minimum wage: $7.25 an hour. Some other important minimum wage protections include: Protections for tipped employees: If you make over $30 a month in tips, these can count toward your minimum wage credit. However, if you fail to meet the minimum wage with your tipped wages alone, your employer must pay you for the difference. Most New Jersey restaurants and tip-driven wage environments pay a direct wage of $2.13 per hour as a safeguard, as suggested by law.
