Minimum Wage Increase

Effective June 1, 2023, Connecticut’s minimum wage will increase from $14.00 per hour to $15.00 per hour. This will affect the hourly rate paid to all students (including Work Study Students) and/or all temporary workers.   

Departmental salary budgets will not be adjusted to account for this increase, so please plan accordingly when hiring and/or scheduling your student and/or temporary workers.

HRD and Payroll are working together to adjust employees with active positions below $15.00 per hour to the mandatory minimum wage rate effective June 1, 2023. 

Departments will not need to submit a revised ePAF and/or Roster Form unless they wish to pay the student/temporary worker more than the mandatory minimum wage. 

*If you are re-hiring a student and/or temporary worker prior to June 30 utilizing the Reactivate ePAF, please remember to update the hourly rate to $15.00.

If you have any questions, please contact HRD at hrd@hartford.edu or x4666.
