Minimum Wage to Increase to $14.00 per Hour

The minimum hourly wage in Connecticut will increase to $14.00 per hour on July 1st. The hourly rate for any student whose active payroll record is not at the minimum of the new pay class will be systematically increased in CORE-CT during the 7/1/22 – 7/14/22 pay period.

We encourage employers to review the hourly rates of those student employees whose rates will not be automatically increased to identify any inequities. Any manual increases may be processed using the Student Payroll Data/Pay Change template (UC_TBH_DC_STUD_DAT) in CORE-CT.
