Another minimum wage hike will be coming for New York workers Sunday.

Beginning Dec. 31, the minimum wage for workers at large New York City companies with at least 11 employees will rise from $11 to $13 an hour. For employees at small firms with 10 employees or less, the minimum wage will be $12 an hour, up from $10.50.

In Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, the minimum wage will increase from $10 to $11 an hour.

For workers in the rest of the state, the minimum wage will be $10.40 an hour, up from $9.70.

The increase is the second phase of the $15 minimum wage Gov. Andrew Cuomo successfully advocated for in 2016. The first increase went into effect on Dec. 31, 2016.

The wage hike will be phased in over a period of three years for employees at large New York City companies and four years for workers at smaller city businesses.

On Long Island and in Westchester County, the minimum wage will reach $15 an hour over a six-year period.
