It’s summertime, but the living is anything but easy for employers trying to track minimum wage and overtime developments. The U.S. Department of Labor is defending legal challenges to various rules the Obama administration adopted, while simultaneously working to revise those rules. States continue to battle with local jurisdictions over who dictates minimum wage rates, and are themselves generally amending minimum wage and/or overtime standards. Additionally, where unencumbered, cities and counties are proposing, enacting, or amending minimum wage ordinances.
