The other 2017 minimum wage update you may need to look at is the Federal Contractors’ Edition poster. It’s been effective since January 1. It affects all federal contractors working in all the states. The new rate is $10.2. In the updated federal contractors’ poster are new sick leave law requirements.
One thing to note is that the updates affect the relevant labor law posters, which means you need to ensure that as an employer or HR professional you have the right one displayed on your walls.
The updates also bear fines and or penalties upon infraction of the various provisions of the labor laws, including the requirement to post the operational minimum wage and other posters in your state. This leaves you and us with the need to look for information and relevant updated posters.
