19 Del. Admin. Code §§ 1102-1.0

Current through Register Vol. 27, No. 12, June 1, 2024

Section 1102-1.0 - Applicability of Regulations

1.1 The Minimum Wage Act of the State of Delaware (Title 19, Delaware Code) among other things, makes substantial revisions in the provision of the Act for employment of disabled persons at special minimum wages. This provision is now codified at Chapter 9, §905 of that Act. It reads as follows:

1.2 For any occupation, the Department may provide by regulations, after public hearing, upon reasonable notice at which any person may be heard, for the employment of individuals whose earning capacity is impaired by age or physical or mental deficiency or injury at such wages lower than the minimum wage rate, under this chapter, as the Department may deem necessary or appropriate to avoid hardship or prevent curtailment of opportunities for employment. No employee shall be employed at wages fixed pursuant to this section except under special license issued under the applicable regulations of the Department. Such regulations shall, except as may be otherwise provided by the Department, take effect upon publication.
