Goto the Sec. of State's website.  They're the ones who certify petitions.  There's numerous rules like the time frame you have to collect the required signatures to put it on a ballot, the wording of the statement on the ballot, etc.  \n\nSecond remember raising the min. wage generally will cause JOB LOSSES.  All that will happen is the companies doing business in CA will relocate jobs to another state/country, cutback on those jobs staying in the state, and reduce benefits to make up for the added cost.   Min. wage only works if EVERYONE plays by the same rules, otherwise it only hurts those in the state and benefits everyother state/country.

It depends on the exact place of employment but a merit increase is an a increase you get when you have made a direct contribution to your company in some way. Such as an idea for the company to make more money, get better orgainized, a way to save company money, come up with an idea that can be used in some way. That sort of thing is considered merit. Now when you do something of this sort you be sure to bring this up in your evaluation. Your employer should but if they do not you do and do not be shy about it either. You deserve to be paid for what you know!!

It is regulated by the Department of Labor's  Wage and Hour division.  Although most States have their own Minimum Wage laws and an employee is entitled to which ever rate is higher the state or the federal minimum wage.

Well, in a nut shell:\nThe minimum wage will raise in September 07 to 6.85\nEvery year the minimum wage will be raised in accordance with inflation\nThe employer must keep a record of all employee wages for the time of their employment and three years after\nAny employee or someone working on behalf of the employee can obtain these records without charge to them\nSmall business's that have a prophet of less then 250K are not subject to the law...neither are family members or household employees, and servers.\n\n\nIf you have any more questions edit your post, I'll be back and try to answer.

Depends on what state you live in. Some states waiter and waitress are exempt from the minimum wage.\n\nGo to Dept. of Labor Web Site:\n\nwww.dol.gov\n\nwww.dol.gov/esa/programs/whd/state/tipped.htm

Minimum wage is $5.15 according to federal law and most states, but some states mandate higer and lower minimum wages. The Labor Department has a map comparing all state minimum wages to the federal minimum wage.

I saw in the News yesterday a refusal to a proposal to raise the minimum wage, which is currently 5.15 (Dollars) an hour. It is the National min. wage. Sorry to tell you this.

It would help if you define what you mean by 'supplemental wages'. It sounds to me as though that's a term used outside the US

The minimum wage was not necessarily established with the expectation that one would have to make do living on that wage.  There are people who are actually supported by others who are happy to receive 5.25 an hour--namely but not limited to teen agers.  Others might include retired people wanting to add a little income and perhaps others with a full time job wanting to make a little extra.

The federal minimum wage for covered, nonexempt employees is $5.15 per hour. The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages. \n\nThe FLSA does not provide wage payment or collection procedures for an employee's usual or promised wages or commissions in excess of those required by the FLSA. However, some states do have laws under which such claims (sometimes including fringe benefits) may be filed.\n\nThe Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division administers and enforces the federal minimum wage law.\n\nYou will need to research your state labor laws, but it looks as if though your boss is paying you above the federal minimum labor rate.  If you have been working there for about 6+ months, try asking for a raise but don't let you boss know that you know how much she is paying your friends!

The Federal minimum wage is 5.15.  It was raised in 1997 from 4.75.  Each state also has a minimum wage that may be more or less than that.  THis is a really cool interactive map that shows what the rates are in each state: http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm

Minimum wage in Kansas is $5.15/hr.\n\n\n\n***Edit***\nChecked your reference and you're right BUT... did you read the rest of Kansas' info?--\n\n"The State law excludes from coverage any employment that is subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act."-- \n\nIt means this applies to all jobs EXCEPT those covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which is ALL jobs except those such as servers, wait staff... etc. All I know is when I have applied for minimum wage jobs, its always been at $5.15 , Thank God I don't have to do that anymore!

The company I used to work for changed from a longevity system to a merit increase system a couple of years ago.  We first set up a system to grade each position based on knowledge required to do the job, how much independent judgement was required, how much supervisory responsibility there was, amount of contact with outside organizations and the purpose of the contact.  I don't remember all the categories, I think there were 8. Each job was rated on this criteria and given points.  Salary ranges were assigned points and jobs were assigned ranges.  Existing employees were looked at to see if the range assigned to their job fit and sometimes arbitrary adjustments were made.  then each employee was assisned a pay rate within the range based on their length of time in the organization.  Employees who had been underpaid in the old system were increased and employees who had been overpaid were frozen until merit increases caught up.

Your question 'Assumes' there are benefits to the minimum wage. The true effect of the minimum wage is to prevent the employment of anyone with job skills not worth the minimum wage.

You will need to find out what award you come under in your specific job. You will also need to find out whether you come under a federal or state award. \n\nIf you are federal, look here:\nhttp://www.airc.gov.au/\nIf you are state, look here:\nhttp://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/
