Branford, CT - (June 14, 2007) On May 25th, 2007, President Bush signed an Iraq funding bill that included the first federal minimum wage increase in nearly ten years. The bill increases the minimum wage in three increments to $7.25 by Summer of 2009. The first increase takes effect July 24th, 2007, raising the current federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $5.85.
Every employer of employees subject to the Fair Labor Standards 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. Although many states are currently operating under a State Minimum Wage that is already higher than the Federal Minimum Wage, they still must post the new notice reflecting the new Federal rate.
Seton Identification Products offers the “Space Saver Federal & State Labor Law Poster” that includes all required information – including the new Federal Minimum Wage posting - on one full-size laminated poster. Order today to guarantee shipment by July 24th and full compliance!
