The federal minimum wage, which is in effect in Virginia, is $7.25 per hour. It hasnât been increased since 2009. Supporters of SB 681 say that the minimum wage has not kept up with inflation and that too many people must rely on minimum-wage jobs to make ends meet.
Beginning January 1, 2016 the new minimum salary required will be $41,600. It is imperative to understand and remember that paying the minimum salary alone itself will not qualify a position for exempt status, there are also duties and time spent tests that must be met.he minimum wage increase also increases the minimum salary for exempt status. Both of these factors can have large financial impacts for employers and the planning should begin now as the change takes effect on January 1, 2016. The second step raises the minimum wage to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016.
