Director to review report
(1)
Upon the receipt of a report from a wage board, the director shall review the same and may approve or disapprove any determination or recommit the subject to the same or a new wage board. If the director approves any of the determinations of the wage board, said director shall publish notice not less than once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county in which any business directly affected thereby is located, that he will, on a date and at a place named in said notice, hold a public meeting, at which all persons in favor of or opposed to said recommendations will be given a hearing.(2)
After publication of notice and the meeting, the director, if so desired, may make and render such an order as may be proper or necessary to adopt the recommendations and carry the same into effect and require all employees in the occupation directly affected thereby to preserve and comply with such recommendations and order. Such order is effective thirty days after it is made and rendered and shall be in full force and effect on and after that day. After the order is effective, it is unlawful for any employer to violate or disregard any of the terms of the order or to employ any worker in any occupation covered by the order at lower wages or under other conditions than authorized or permitted by the order. The director shall, as far as is practicable, mail a copy of any such order to every employer affected thereby; and every employer affected by the order shall keep a copy thereof posted in a conspicuous place in such employer’s establishment. Such order shall include a notice of the contents of sections 8-12-105 (3), 8-12-115 (4)(b)(II), and 8-12-116 (2).(3)
In case of an emergency the director may authorize or permit the employment of any person for more hours per day or per week than the maximum now fixed by law.(4)
Overtime, at a rate of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay, may be permitted by the director under conditions and rules and for increased minimum wages which the director, after investigation, determines and prescribes by order and which shall apply equally to all employers in such industry or occupation.
