A new report shows that the vast majority of employers with minimum wage workers do not have a plan for how to pay those employees more if they are required to do so by law.
A survey of 135 firms that employ at least some minimum wage workers commissioned by constulting firm Aon Hewitt found that 72 percent of organizations have not charted a course for paying their lowest-paid workers more in the midst of an increasingly vocal national movement in favor of raising the minimum wage.
In addition, the report found that 59 percent of organizations with minimum wage employees do not plan to raise the wage unless mandated by law.
