Regular Pay Days
Connecticut law dictates that all employees in the state must be paid on a weekly or biweekly pay basis. However, a waiver can be requested from the Department of Labor that allows an employer to pay employees on a semi-monthly or monthly payroll schedule.
Connecticut Minimum Wage
Connecticut employers can find the most up-to-date minimum wage requirements on the Connecticut Department of Labor website.
Connecticut Exempt Salary Threshold
Additionally, Connecticut imposes a minimum exempt salary threshold of $24,700 ($475/week) that is higher than the federal exempt salary threshold of $23,660 ($455/week) for the administrative exemption, executive exemption, and professional exemption (except lawyers, doctors, and teachers) from overtime pay requirements.
