Federal Minimum Wage to Increase July 24th
On July 24, 2009, the current Federal Minimum Wage rate of $6.55 per hour will increase to $7.25 per hour. All covered employers, regardless of size, are required to post the most recent Minimum Wage poster, along with the five other required Federal Posters, even if your state’s minimum wage differs.
Also, the Federal Government recently released the new Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) poster based on revisions finalized in November. The new mandated poster went into effect January 16, 2009.
Some private publishers provide a complete compliance Federal poster combining all six mandatory posters from the six Federal agencies in one convenient poster, ensuring you are in compliance. One such publisher is Progressive Business Compliance.
Getting in compliance is easy and inexpensive. Make sure you are covered.
