ABC is reminding its members that the federal minimum wage, currently set at $6.55 per hour, will increase to $7.25 per hour on July 24, the third and final increase scheduled over a three-year period that began in 2007.
All ABC members with 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.” Click
