Kristen Comley, Minimum Wage -- The Next Increase
(3 mins) -- Posted 6/20/08
Minimum Wage – The Next Increase So many retailers have been asking themselves, how will the next minimum wage increase affect my business? On July 24, 2008 the minimum wage increases to $6.55 per hour. Some retailers are investing in capital improvements that will reduce staffing needs, such as self checkouts. Many have redefined job duties or cut back on the number of hours for part time employees or reduced the number of full time employees. What have you done that’s helped? We are looking for you to share your ideas with fellow N.G.A. Members. N.G.A. has set up a Discussion Board on our Members Only site. Here is the chance to share ideas what you plan to and have you done that’s worked and made a difference to offset the impact of the next minimum wage increase.
