Day Care Operators Expect Higher Rates Over Wage Rule
Oklahoma day care center owners warn they must raise rates this fall due to new federal minimum wage standards. The Educational Amendment Act of 1972 brings centers with at least two employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act starting July 1 1972, meaning a minimum of 1.60 dollars per hour and overtime pay. Centers like Wee Care Inn at Grace Methodist Church in Lawton say they were not advised by congressmen and must cover increased costs, not profit.
