Quick Answer. Low glomerular filtration rates (GFR) are caused by chronic kidney diseases according to MedicinePlus. The GFR is a measure of the amount of blood that passes through the glomeruli, which are tiny filters in the kidneys responsible for removing waste, in a single minute. To determine the GFR, blood tests are required.
Minimum Wage. Overview. The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Many states also have minimum wage laws. Some state laws provide greater employee protections; employers must comply with both.
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.
