Federal Minimum Wage Rates Increase to $6.55/hour
Effective today, July 24, the Federal Minimum Wage increases to $6.55 hour. This is the second of three increases provided for by the enactment of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. A third minimum wage increase to $7.25 per hour becomes effective on July 24, 2009.
This increase does not affect most Western states, which have higher state minimum wages. Employers in Utah and Idaho, however, are affected by the increase and should make sure they comply.
