The New Jersey Wage and Hour Law is designed to protect employees from unfair wages and excessive hours. The New Jersey Wage and Hour Law establishes not only a minimum wage but also an overtime rate for each hour of work in excess of forty hours in any week for certain employees. The current minimum wage for employees is $8.38 with exceptions for tipped employees, student workers and other exempt occupations. The Wage and Hour law does not prescribe the minimum wage or overtime rate payable to independent contractors.
