Minimum Wage Increases Coming in July 2023

Minimum wage will be increasing in many states and cities across the country.  As longtime advocates for fair and legal pay, we believe this is long overdue!  Domestic employees deserve a living wage that fairly compensates them for the invaluable work they do to keep our household running.

Be sure to check out all the employment requirements in your state and stay in compliance with the law.  We would also advise you to consider offering your employee benefits as part of a total compensation package that can help you minimize employment taxes!
