Minimum Wage Increase

Effective today, July 24, 2008, the federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $6.55. The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Many states have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both state and federal minimum wages laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages.

Recent Scams to steal identity - Posing as IRS

IRS has cautioned taxpayers to be very careful of scams consisting of e-mails requesting detailed personal information.
IRS generally does not send e-mails to taxpayers, does not discuss tax account matters with taxpayers in e-mails, and does not request security-related personal information, such as PIN numbers, from taxpayers.
Most of these scams involve tax refunds and economic stimulus rebate receipt.

These are all scams to steal to identity......Hence, beware...
