The lunch meeting will be held at the Pacific Islands Club/Charley’s Cabaret on Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The presentation includes lunch and the cost is $20 for SHRM members and $30 for non-members. Seats are limited, so reserve your seat by contacting Polly Deleon Guerrero at 237-5122 or e-mail [email protected].
This presentation is open to the public and will be an invaluable opportunity for employers and employees to learn more about the impact that the last three minimum wage increases have had on the CNMI economy and average annual earnings for CNMI employees. In 2007, the U.S. enacted a law incrementally raising the minimum wage in the CNMI.
The law applied the first 50-cent per hour increase in July 2007 and mandated additional increases each subsequent year until the CNMI minimum wage reaches the U. S. minimum wage of $7.25 per hour in 2015.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act requires that the GAO report annually on the impact of minimum wage increases in the CNMI.
