The minimum wage in Delaware is $7.15 per hour

Now the minimum wage of the state Delaware is $7.15 per hour.
The Minimum wage law is updated yearly and if the minimum wage in Delaware ever falls below the federal minimum then it is automatically replaced by the federal rate until the state minimum wage rises above the federal minimum.

On January 1, 2007, the first step of the increase went into effect, raising the minimum wage from $6.15 to $6.65 her hour. On January 1, 2008 the minimum wage increased again from $.6.65 per hour to $7.15 per hour.

The Delaware minimum wage applies to businesses with over 10 employees, but there are exceptions to the minimum wage rules. Businesses and organizations that are exempt include disabled workers, student learners, tipped employees, agricultural workers, domestic service providers, commissioned sales people, white collar executives and professionals, state inmates and volunteer workers. “Tipped” employees can be paid a minimum wage of $2.33 per hour. But if their total earnings are less than $7.15 an hour, their employers must make up the difference.
