It’s definitely not January, but the number of labor and employment law updates taking effect kind of makes it feel that way. This summer, especially July, is shaping up to be busy.

There are a number of minimum wage, tipped, and exempt employee pay increases going into effect on July 1, 2024. Check out Littler’s article “[Rates Up, Dude – Surfing the Wave of U.S. Minimum Wage, Tipped, and Exempt Employee Pay Increases that Will Occur on July 1, 2024](https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/rates-dude-surfing-wave-us-minimum-wage-tipped-and-exempt-employee-pay)” to learn more about the increases. Also, be sure to check out the Minimum Wage report in the Reference Center for minimum wage and tip credit information and Navigator OT if you have previously submitted evaluations you would like to copy and re-run to see if the position is affected by the increased federal salary level.

To learn more about the other updates taking effect this summer, check out Littler’s Insight “[July is Still the New January!
