Workers earning the minimum wage will see a pay increase in 29
states beginning July 24th. The federal minimum wage will rise to $7.25
an hour, and all states that have a minimum wage lower than this amount
will be affected.

While this minimum wage increase will be felt
in many states, only 4 face new a requirement for wage postings. This
is due to the last federal minimum wage posting including yearly
increases for 2007, 2008, and 2009. Employers in most states will not
need to do anything with their existing minimum wage postings as long
as they were posted after the federal change in 2007.

Employers
in Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, and New York, however, will need to
update their state minimum wage postings, as these are tied to the
federal rate and now have new posting requirements.

For these
states, some compliance providers will try to sell employers new
posters with these notices. One provider that will NOT do this,
however, is Compliance Poster Company of Monrovia, California. \"We only
sell our clients new posters when they reflect major revisions\" says
Patty Blum, president of Compliance Poster Company. \"This change only
affects a small portion of the poster for these states, and we have a
special Peel-n-Post™ update sticker that can be applied to our
All-On-One™ posters that saves employers a significant amount over
purchasing entirely new posters\"

Compliance Poster Company also
offers a free compliance audit for businesses to ensure that they are
fully compliant with all state and federal regulations. \"We offer
products that cover both mandatory to post and mandatory to communicate
postings, and have compliance experts available to help any business
find out what they need to comply with labor laws\" said Blum.

obtain a free compliance audit to ensure your business is prepared for
the minimum wage change, contact Compliance Poster Company at
