Students can write an essay about their process of searching for the artwork and describe the piece they selected. They can write an essay comparing and contrasting the two works of art and submit it either for extra credit or in place of the essay that the rest of the class is writing.
The 2017 Washington Minimum Wage Is $11.00. Washington's minimum wage applies to workers in both agriculture and non-agricultural jobs, although 14- and 15-year-olds may be paid 85% of the minimum wage ($9.35). Initiative 1433 changes the state minimum wage and will require employers to provide employees with paid sick leave.
If an employee is covered by federal and Colorado state minimum wage laws, then the employer must pay the higher minimum wage. Federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 per hour, which is lower than the 2016 Colorado state minimum wage of $8.31. Therefore, based upon current information, covered employers in Colorado will have to pay their employees the higher value of $8.31 per hour under Colorado law beginning January 1, 2016.
