UA Minimum Wage Increase

As you know, most Arizona employers have raised the minimum wage because Arizona's minimum wage and paid vacation plans were passed in 2016. Under the law, it is mandatory to raise the minimum wage in 2017 to $ 10.00 per hour and in 2018 to $ 10.50 per hour.

From January 1, 2018, the university will carry out minimum wage growth. The changes are as follows.

Raising the minimum wage will affect the range of salaries for the 21st and 22th graders and the classification staff of the B and C student groups. To streamline employee and supervisor processes, all salary levels under 23 are canceled and staff at these levels are moved to 23 levels by the Human Resources Department.

From January 1, 2018, the salary level 23 and the minimum wage range for students B and C are adjusted to $ 10.50 per hour. We will review the impact of the new minimum wage on department budget and encourage divisions to adjust the operation plan including ERE.

The Human Resources Department will complete payroll adjustments for employees of UAccess so that employees and student workers can meet a minimum wage of $ 10.50 per hour.

It is the responsibility of each department to ensure that new employees or student workers with effective employment dates after January 1, 2018 receive a minimum wage of $ 10.50 per hour.

To identify employees and student workers within an organization that will receive a minimum wage increase on January 1, 2018, you will move to the UAccess Analytics Minimum Wage Information Center (Employee> Salary> Arizona Minimum Wage) . This report can include employees currently waiting or student workers to extend the schedule of the future.

In my department, do I need to increase salaries for employees and students who reached or exceeded the threshold of $ 10.50 per hour?

If sufficient funds are available, each department may wish to adjust other wages. Please contact the organization consultant of the Human Resources department to solve the problem of salary reduction such as adjustment of salary level and raise in salary.

In Arizona's minimum wage and paid vacation plan, you need to adjust the minimum wage to $ 11.00 in 2019 and $ 12.00 in 2020. Will you use the same process for coordination in the next few years?

The adjusted minimum wage started in 1978: the minimum wage increased to $ 2.65 per hour in the beginning of 1978. In January 1978 the CPI was 62.5. This increased by 189.489 points (303%). Raising the current minimum wage of $ 2.65 to 303% will result in an income of $ 8.03 per hour. Uh. Probably we need to return to the beginning. The adjusted minimum wage began in 1938. The first federal minimum wage in the United States began at $ 0.25 on October 24, 1938. Yes, it is 25 cents per hour. In the second year they raised it to $ 0.30 per hour. We will continue to use the original minimum wage departure point to determine if the current minimum wage is worse than the past.

It is a hot topic now not to raise the minimum wage weather, or minimum wage. Some people think that the minimum wage should be raised, others say that they are not. The minimum wage is the minimum wage paid to employees. If the minimum wage is a lot of the current minimum wage, workers are forced to quit their jobs and should not increase as they may lose everything. - Building a so-called "compliance culture" among employers (Skidmore 1999: 435) is a low cost strategy to promote self-enforcement of minimum wages. This strategy means establishing a convincing argument that supports the minimum wage and the shared values ​​and beliefs requirements, such as the principle of "fair salary - fair competition". Here we can identify the two main strategies for building commitments among employers.

The first argument is that the minimum wage is invalid. This is a violent argument between supporters and critics of the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage believe that raising the minimum wage will raise the wage of the minimum wage workers without increasing the unemployment rate. This camp like to point out Card & Kruger research which seems to support this conclusion. This article is highly regarded for its originality, but it has been criticized for its relatively narrow scope. In other words, critics believe that minimum wages tend to raise the unemployment rate, especially for those who need most employment. A recent survey by the University of Washington examined the impact of the minimum wage increase in Seattle from $ 9.47 per hour to $ 11 per hour and from $ 11 per hour to $ 13 per hour . Initially, this survey showed net income, ordinary employees earned more income than before.
