The federal minimum wage will be $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher minimum wage.
Of course, the states do not make it easy. Only 12 states including Texas, Indiana, Idaho, Maryland, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Virginia, Montana, Nebraska and Utah will increase the state minimum wage on July 24, 2009 when the new federal rate of $7.25 per hour is introduced. Most of these states have legislation that ties the state minimum wage to the federal rate.
On July 1 2009, ILLINOIS will increase to $8.00 and again next year Jul. 1, 2010 to $8.25.
Also on July 1 2009, KENTUCKY will increase to $7.25, ahead of the feds.

A new tax law raises California’s personal income tax rates by .25 percent. The law also reduces the dependent exemption credit to the same amount of the personal exemption credit—a $210 difference per dependent using 2008 amounts. Some taxpayers may need to increase their wage withholding now to avoid owing taxes next April.
The Employment Development Department (EDD) made new withholding tables available to employers in April, but taxpayers may be under withheld at least from January through April 2009.
The updated tax tables were issued to Paymaster users in April but you still may be underwitheld as the increase was retro active.
The new withholding tables factor in the changes for the tax rate increase only, so taxpayers claiming dependent exemption credits may still need to modify their wage withholding on Form DE 4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, to make any needed changes to the number of allowances they claim.
