Governor Ned Lamont announced that beginning January 1, 2024, Connecticut’s minimum wage will increase from $15.00 per hour to $15.69 per hour as a result of the state’s first-ever economic adjustment. 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. No action is required by departments.

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 in CORE-CT using the Student Payroll Data/Pay Change template (UC_TBH_DC_STUD_DAT.)

Current Pay Scale (June 1,2023-December 31,2023)	Effective January 1, 2024
Class I – $15.00	Class I – $15.69
Class II – $15.15-$16.35	Class II – $15.84 – $17.04
