Unfortunatly not, nice thought though. Most organizations these days are far to cheap to do anything like that.
As a matter of fact the standard pay increase is 3 percent of your hourly pay. (Which needless to say isnt much) especially when the health benefits increase every year. You actually make less each year, going backwards if you will. Not to mention the cost of general everyday living expenses. Going to the market for example, you may as well get robbed in the parking lot before you go in. I would love to meet the idiot and or idiots that come up with these numbers in a dark alley, LOL, im sure things would get rather ugly. I think its grounds for something more than just a baseball bat :) heh
Anyway thats my say on the matter, good luck!

My co-workers are having ahard time with this situation...Employers don't have to, but if they value your work, I think they should... And if they do not raise your wages, you might have to ask for it. But you deserve to be paid at least what you were being paid before, when the minimum wage was lower.

Nope. You LOSE money because consumer prices will go up to make up for the minimum wage increase. Minimum wage increases are BAD for EVERYBODY, consumers, employers, even the person getting the 'raise' as their expenses will go up as well.

it depends on your company. for your basic burger flipping job, no. those types of employers are going to pay you the bare minimum.
however, some companies have policies that dictate certian pay rates. (IE we will pay you .05% more than minimum wage.)
and some companys, like mine, are just awesome and automatically bump you up. i was making 8.50, but with minimum wage increasing in oregon to 7.80 from 7.50, they decided to up everyone up to 9.00/hr. if a rep already made 9.00/hr, they were bumped up .50 cents.
so, if your employer is cool, then yes you will get a raise. but if its a basic employer, then no, you will continue at your current rate of pay.

no they don't have to give you a raise since you already make over the required wages they have to pay you...should they choose to give you a raise then it will.

No, your employer only needs to pay the minimum.

Sorry, but no. Your employer may take this into consideration during salary reviews, but it probably won't matter.
