Fair Labor Standards Amendments

Summary

Fair Labor Standards Amendments - Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to set the minimum wage for non-agricultural employees at (1) with respect to calendar year 1978, not less than $2.65 per hour, (2) with respect to calendar year 1979, not less than 52 percent of the average straight time hourly earnings of production workers on manufacturing payrolls during the twelve-month period ending June 30, 1978, and (3) with respect to each succeeding calendar year, not less than 53 percent of the average straight time hourly earnings of production workers on manufacturing payrolls during the twelve-month period ending the June 30 preceding such year. Sets the minimum wage for agricultural employees and persons covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act as a result of the Fair Labor Standards Amendments of 1966 at the same rate as the minimum wage for non-agricultural workers. Eliminates over a six-year period the credit toward the minimum wage which may be claimed by employers for tipped employees. Redefines "tipped employee."
