Non-exempt statutory employees in Cumberland County are protected under the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law and the Fair Labor Standards Act. The FLSA provides that all covered employers in the U.S. must pay their statutory workers at least $7.25 per hour. However, the state minimum wage in New Jersey is $10 per hour. New Jersey employers are required to pay their workers the state minimum wage.

If you work more than 40 hours per week and are a non-exempt worker, your employer must pay you overtime compensation for each hour that you work beyond 40 in a week. If you are paid a tipped wage, the combination of your tips and hourly wages must be at least the minimum wage.
