OPINION NO. 2007-01

MINIMUM    WAGES:    EMPLOYERS:
INITIATIVE: Any increase in the federal
minimum wage must take effect on the
date established in the law. If either tier of
the current Nevada minimum wage is less
than the increased federal wage, that tier
of the Nevada minimum wage must be
raised to the federal level on the effective
date established by federal law. A review
of the two tiers of the Nevada minimum
wage must be conducted annually, and
communicated to the public with a bulletin
published by April 1st of each year. During
the review, a comparison must be made
between the  amount of increases,
expressed as percentages, in the federal
minimum wage over $5.15 per hour and
the cumulative increase in the CPI from
December 31, 2004. Any adjustment to
the two tier minimum wage becomes
effective July 1st of the same year.
