Governor Ned Lamont announced that beginning on January 1, 2025, Connecticut’s minimum wage will increase from the current rate of $15.69 per hour to $16.35 per hour.

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 students 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.)
