NOTICE TO WISCONSIN WORKERS  WITH 	
DISABILITIES  PAID AT  SPECIAL MINIMUM WAGE  	
 	
Wisconsin Minimum Wage , Hours of Work and  Overtime Laws 	
Generally, employees are covered by Wisconsin's minimum wage and overtime law provisions.  The law 
requires payment of not l ess than the minimum wage for all hours worked, and payment of time and one- half 
an employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked over forty in a work week.  There may be other 
requirements.  Child labor law provisions apply to employees under 18 years of age.  
 	
Special Minimum Wages  under DWD 279	  	
Workers whose disabilities impair their ability to perform their work may be employed under a special minimum 
wage license issued by the Department of Workforce Development.  This establishment has such a li cense.  
The rates must reflect the productivity of the worker compared to the productivity of a worker not disabled for 
similar work, and to the wages paid to experienced workers performing the same or similar work in the vicinity.  
 
To be able to pay less  than the standard applicable minimum wage, this facility must also have a certificate 
under Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), issued by the US Department of Labor.   
 
Effective July 22, 2016, the FLSA prevents this establishment from em ploying persons 24 years of age or 
younger at a special minimum wage unless certain conditions are met.  The Division of Vocational 
Rehabilitation (DVR) will provide documentation that these conditions have been met.   DVR will also provide 
career counseling and information and referral services designed to promote opportunities for competitive, 
integrated employment, regardless of age, to individuals who are known to be employed at special minimum 
wages every six months for the first year of the individual' s subminimum wage employment and annually 
thereafter for the duration of such employment.  
 	
Worker Notification 	
The employer shall inform orally and in writing, each worker with a disability, and parent and/or guardian if 
appropriate, of the terms of the special minimum wage license under which the worker is employed.  
 	
Review Process, Complaints,  or Questions  	
A request for reconsideration or review under this law must be filed within 60 days after learning of the action.  
To file such a request, make a complaint, for answers to questions about the law, or for a complete 
copy of the law, contact:
