Dear Rutgers Colleagues,
As a reminder, on February 4, 2019, Governor Murphy signed legislation that progressively raised the minimum wage in New Jersey to $15 per hour by the year 2024. Effective January 1, 2024, the New Jersey minimum wage is $15.13 per hour.
For individuals employed on January 1, 2024, no further action is required. As is our practice, UHR automatically brought all hourly employee salaries up to the new minimum wage effective January 1, 2024. For newly appointed hourly employees, including student workers, hiring units must ensure that appointments are processed with salaries at or above the new minimum wage.
If you have any questions, please contact the OneSource Rutgers Faculty and Staff Service Center at 732-745-SERV (7378) or OneSource@rutgers.edu.
Sincerely,
Vivian Fernández
Senior Vice President for Human Resources
