>> SOME WORKERS IN COOK COUNTY WILL FIND MORE IN THEIR PAYCHECK IN JULY BECAUSE MINIMUM WAGE IS SET TO INCREASE BASED ON A FORMULA ESTABLISHED BY A COUNTY ORDINANCE.

HERE IS MORE ON WHY IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA FOR MINIMUM-WAGE WORKERS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE PAYCHECK NEXT WEEK.

>> JULY 1st, COOK COUNTY MINIMUM WAGE WILL BE INCREASING FOR TIPPED AND NON-TIPPED WORKERS.

EVERY MAY INTO JUNE, BASED ON THE COOK COUNTY MINIMUM WAGE ORDINANCE, THE UPDATED ONES ARE CONNECTED TO EVALUATE AN INCREASE.

THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE INFLATIONARY CAP, THE MINIMUM WAGES FOR BOTH RATES HAVE INCREASED.

WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CHECK THEIR NEXT PAYCHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STATED INCREASE WAGES ARE REFLECTED IN HER PAYCHECK.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE THEM REFLECTED, PLEASE CALL US AT THE COOK COUNTY COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AS WE ACCEPT AND INVESTIGATE FORMAL COMPLAINTS.

WE DO NOT REPRESENT VIOLATIONS OF THE MINIMUM WAGE ORDINANCE, OR IF YOU ARE DISCRIMINATED OR HARASSED.

PLEASE GIVE US A CALL AND YOU CAN ALWAYS FILE A COMPLAINT, YOU CAN FILE ON YOUR OWN OR YOU
