As we head into 2019, more states and localities have announced changes to their minimum wage rates. Here’s a rundown of the latest developments. States:
In July 2018, New Jersey became the latest state to pass legislation allowing cities to impose payroll taxes on employers, joining 15 other states
One in five U.S. states now require private-sector employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees. On May 2, New Jersey joined nine states
In 2017, New York state joined California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Washington as one of the few states to enact a paid family leave
As the Obama administration continues to push for federal paid family and sick leave requirements, it’s also prompting state and local governments to take matters into their own hands.
