New York Labor Law sets a uniform downstate minimum wage applying to Suffolk County, currently $16.50 per hour and indexed annually; Suffolk County cannot adopt a higher local minimum wage.
NY Labor Law Section 651 establishes statewide minimum wage tiers, with Long Island, Westchester, and New York City on the higher downstate schedule. As of 2025 the downstate rate is $16.50, scheduled to rise with annual indexing tied to inflation. New York preempts local wage floors, so Suffolk County and its towns cannot set a county-specific minimum higher than the state. Tipped food service, fast food, and home care worker rates follow separate state schedules under Department of Labor regulations rather than local ordinance.
Employers paying below the downstate state minimum face NY Department of Labor wage claims, double damages, interest, and civil penalties under Labor Law Section 198.
