ANNOUNCEMENTS

Minimum Wage Increase
As of January 1, 2001, Washington state's minimum wage will increase from $6.50 to $6.72 an hour. If you have student workers who are currently earning less than $6.72, their hourly rate will automatically be increased to the new minimum wage. No additional paperwork is required. This rate increase will first appear on paycheck stubs for the January 24 payday. Please keep this minimum rate in mind when you hire new employees throughout 2001. Direct any questions about this to Lindsey Peterson at (206) 281-2533, or e-mail lpeterso@spu.edu.
