Federal Minimum Wage Increase
July 28, 2009

Time to redecorate the employee break room! The third and final phase of the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour as of July 24, 2008. To comply with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) regulations governing the wage increase, all employers that hire workers subject to minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act must display posters explaining the wage increase. The posters must be hung in a conspicuous place, and businesses should allow their employees to read the notice. Copies of the poster are available here.
