Minimum Wage Posters

One of the most important topics on labor law posters is minimum wage.
The federal minimum wage for covered employees is $7.25 per hour as of July 24th. This is the final step of a 3-step minimum wage increase which began on July 24, 2007.
The federal minimum wage poster on the current Poster Compliance Center all-in-one federal poster includes the new $7.25 rate.
As of now, there are no future scheduled federal minimum wage increases. When will the federal minimum wage change again? It will not increase until Congress passes new legislation and the President signs it into law.
The federal minimum wage poster is based on the federal minimum wage law which is found in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This law sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping and child labor standards for full- and part-time workers in the private sector.
The FLSA affects most private and public employment, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, which issues the official text of the federal minimum wage poster.
For more detailed information, you can download the "Handy Reference Guide to the FLSA" published by the Wage and Hour Division at www.dol.gov/esa/whd/regs/compliance/wh1282.pdf.
Covered employers must always display a current federal minimum wage poster, along with other required federal labor law posters. It must be posted "in a conspicuous place in all of their establishments so as to permit employees to readily read it," according to the DOL Wage and Hour Division.
Most states also have state minimum wage laws and require a state minimum wage poster.
Even if your state has a minimum wage that is higher than the federal rate and/or you pay all of your employees more than the minimum wage, you must post the federal minimum wage poster as well as your state minimum wage poster. This is because it includes other parts of the federal regulations such as child labor and overtime rules.
Also, if an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages.
