Author: Michael Cardman, XpertHR Legal Editor

Massachusetts' governor on June 26 signed a new law that will raise the state minimum wage in stages over the next three years, ultimately reaching $11.00 in 2017.

As a result, three new entries have been added to the Legal Timetable (for 2015, 2016 and 2017). In addition, the chart Minimum Wage Rates by State and Municipality and the Minimum Wage: Massachusetts section of the Employment Law Manual have been updated.
