Training wage for 16-19 new hires
Employers can pay a training wage to new hires age 16 to 19 who are not seasonal or migrant workers and not emancipated minors. The training wage lasts 90 days and can extend another 90 days only during on‑the‑job training approved by the Commissioner of Labor. The rate is $13.50 per hour through December 31, 2026; starting January 1, 2027, it rises 1.5% each year, rounded to the nearest cent. No more than one‑quarter of the employer’s total paid hours can be at the training wage. Employers cannot cut hours, lay off, or replace other employees to use the training wage.
