Do you still get your pay raise after the minimum wage increase?

[snarts]

Here in NYC the minimum wage increased to $13 an hour on new years. I was suppose to get a .50 cent increase this past month but my check still shows $13 an hour, am I suppose to get that .50 cent raise or did the minimum wage increase cancel it out?

Here it was canceled out by the minimum wage. Did you make less then $13 before?

Yea I made $11.50

Yea I made $11.50

Then I'd say you don't get the 50 cent raise. Still talk to your local to be sure.

It is funny there is no language in the contract about minimum wage though. I do think your right though. Just surprised thats not addressed in the contracts

No raise til the contractually obligated to pay more, unless they really, really, really like you.

The issue is new part-timers are in a progression. They have a set amount they're supposed to get every year since the minimum wage puts them above that the company doesn't pay them the raise.

It sucks

They really, really, really like me, so I got a raise. Have no idea why, though.

Once you hit minimum you’ve got it made. You still want more money?

No one here knows for sure

I do.

The $1.50/hr bump to the new min wage negated the $.50/progression wage.

Pretty sad you have to wonder if you’re going to get a raise to get you over minimum wage. No wonder my load is . For 13 bucks I’d just throw them in too

You won't get the negotiated pay increases until your wages catch up to the new minimum wage laws. UPS could do the right thing, but they are not obligated under the collective bargaining agreement.

You aren't supposed to get a certain dollar amount raise. You are supposed to go to whatever the contract says the rate is for the next progression step. If you are already above that rate, there is no raise. Your payrate will remain the same until the contractual step rate is more than you are currently making.
