New Wage Ruling Seen as Hardship
The United States Chamber of Commerce warns that next week’s wage hour standards will raise difficulties for industry and workers. The rule cuts the work week from 44 to 42 hours and raises minimum wage from 25 to 30 cents per hour. The chamber notes eight hour days and four hours on Saturday may not be feasible and suggests options like a 44 hour week with overtime, a five day week, or a staggered six or seven day schedule. It opposes continued long days and will assess the impact on communities and businesses as the law marks its first year without a Supreme Court challenge to its validity.
