Wage Hour Law Changes Readjustment in Cedar Rapids Firms
The Oct 24 1938 wage hour act will bring little local change for most Cedar Rapids firms but some face complications. Executives of thirty major companies report 40 hour norms already in place, with overtime pay rules and possible adjustments in specific departments. Several firms anticipate minor shifts or extra hires to stay within the 44 hour weekly limit and 25 cent minimum wage.
