Employer Alert

I don’t know about you, but I have enjoyed taking some time off during the holidays. Rarely do you know how much you need rest until you get it. So I guess the good news, to quote the Governor of California, “I’m baaack!!!”

With the new year starting, Washington employers should be aware that the state minimum wage has increased to $8.55 per hour. In addition, the Department of Labor and Industries has issued a new poster that incorporates information concerning the new minimum wage. You can get that poster by clicking here.

I also want to remind those who may have missed my December 19, 2008 post, that the Department of Labor has issued new a new FMLA leave forms. To get those links, go to my last post.

Here’s wishing that your 2009 will happy and prosperous.
