: Northwest Business Litigation BlogFederal minimum wage increases July 24, 2008
By Stacey Mark
This is a reminder that, effective July 24, 2008, the federal minimum wage will increase from $5.85 to $6.55 per hour. This is the second of three increases scheduled under the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. The next increase to $7.25 per hour will go into effect on July 24, 2009. The increases will have little effect on Oregon employers, who must comply with Oregon's higher minimum wage, currently set at $7.95. Oregon's minimum wage is scheduled to increase again on January 1, 2009.
For more information about federal wage and hour requirements, go to www.wagehour.dol.gov. Information on Oregon wage and hour law is available at http://www.oregon.gov/BOLI/WHD/index.shtml.
