- Minimum Wage: Wisconsin adheres to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
- Overtime: Overtime pay is required for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at 1.5 times the regular pay rate.
- Sick Leave: Wisconsin does not mandate paid sick leave, but municipalities like Milwaukee have specific ordinances.
- Meal and Rest Breaks: Wisconsin requires a 30-minute break for minors working more than 6 consecutive hours, but no mandatory breaks for adults unless outlined in an employer’s policy.
- Payroll Schedule: Employers can choose any payroll frequency, such as weekly, biweekly, or monthly, provided it is consistent.
- Tax Compliance: Employers contribute to Unemployment Insurance (0.3% to 7.0% based on experience rating) and Workers' Compensation Insurance. Employees pay state income tax, ranging from 3.54% to 7.65%, in addition to federal Social Security and Medicare taxes.
PEOs provide access to competitive benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and wellness programs. By pooling resources, PEOs help Wisconsin employers secure lower rates on employee benefits without requiring a minimum number of employees.
- Workplace Safety: Wisconsin employers must comply with OSHA standards and state-specific guidelines for workplace safety.
- Workers’ Compensation: Employers must carry workers' compensation insurance for all employees unless exempt.
- Enforcement Agencies: Labor laws are enforced by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development and the federal Department of Labor.
- Overlapping Laws: In cases where state and federal laws overlap, the most employee-friendly standard applies.
