Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
New Mexico’s minimum wage is increasing, effective Sunday, in accordance with an amendment to the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act signed into law by Gov. Lujan Grisham last April.
Beginning Jan. 1, the state minimum wage will be $12 per hour and the state tipped minimum wage will be $3 per hour.
The minimum wage is the lowest hourly that an employer can pay to workers. The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions’ (NMDWS) enforces both the state and federal minimum wage, although the cities of Albuquerque, Las Cruces and Santa Fe, and Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties, enforce their own minimum wage.
Employers are required to post the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act Summary Poster in a place where all workers can easily see it. Additional information about the minimum wage, including PDF version of the Minimum Wage Act summary poster in both English and Spanish, is available at www.dws.state.nm.us/Minimum-Wage-Information.
