Federal Minimum Wage Increases & New Poster Required |
 |
|
The federal minimum wage increased to $7.25 on Friday, July 24, 2009. The Fair Labor Standars Act sets the minimum amount that employees working in the United States can be paid. States, like California, are free to set higher standards. With this change, employees who are covered by the FLSA will be entitled to be paid no less than $7.25 per hour. A revised Federal minimum wage poster is now available for viewing, downloading, and posting. Every employer of employees subject to the Fair Labor Standard Act’s minimum wage provisions must post, and keep posted, a notice explaining the Act in a conspicuous place in all of their establishments so as to permit employees to readily read it.
