Announcements

TO:  All Employees

FROM:  David D. Collins, Vice President for Finance and Administration

SUBJECT:  Federal Minimum Wage Rates

 

Federal minimum wage rates will increase from $5.85 per hour to $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008.  Although the effective date is July 24, 2008, we will make the increases effective automatically July 16, 2008, to be consistent with our payroll schedule.

In addition, ETSU will adjust the classified/support staff salary schedule for Level 1 to reflect the change in the federal minimum rates.

Please keep this change in mind as it will have any impact on your budget or will require a reduction in hours worked to compensate for the increase.

Please contact the Office of Human Resources, extension 9-5825, if you have additional questions.
