Practice question
A valid published wage order provides an initial increase on Date A and a further tranche on Date B. A claim for work between A and B assumes both tranches applied from A without any retroactive clause. What is the sound approach?
- Apply the order’s actual phase dates and covered period
- Automatically apply all future increases to every past day
- Ignore the written dates
- Use the date of the employer’s incorporation
- Treat all published tranches as ineffective forever
