NMDWS News:
ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) advises employers and workers that New Mexico’s minimum wage is increasing, effective Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023.
This increase is in accordance with an amendment to the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act signed into law April 1, 2019 by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2023:
- State minimum wage: $12 per hour; and
- State tipped minimum wage: $3 per hour.
Minimum wage is the lowest wage that an employer is legally required to pay to workers. NMDWS enforces the state and federal minimum wage. The City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, City of Las Cruces, City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County enforce their own minimum wage. Businesses should be aware that the state will enforce the highest available rate.
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 on the NMDWS website.
