Many states have already increased (or will be increasing) their required minimum wages in 2017, and that’s on top of a slew of recent increases in 2016. Are you up to date on your state’s minimum wage requirements?
CEDR’s 2017 Minimum Wage infographic is a great way to make sure you’re aware of recent changes and are paying all employees properly for their time. Simply hover the mouse cursor over a state to see what changes will occur in 2017, or confirm your state’s current minimum wage. Plus, take a look at your neighboring states to see how your minimum wages compare!
Some states do not have a minimum wage defined by state law. For those, the federal minimum of $7.25 applies. Additionally, for states that define a lower minimum wage, the higher federal wage applies in most cases.*
We would love it if you share this infographic with other employers who will find it handy. Feel free to post it on your blog or Facebook, or share via LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, or your favorite forum.
