ANNOUNCEMENTS May, 2008: Jane Johnson has announced her decision to step down as Director of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. Effective January 1, 2007, Florida’s minimum wage is $6.67 per hour. Unless using a special worker certificate, employers must pay employees at least a wage of $6.67 per hour for all hours worked in Florida. Local Florida Business Leadership Networks (BLN) are part of the statewide BLN, organized by The Able Trust. Funded by the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council, BLNs are dedicated to promoting the employment of qualified workers who have disabilities and assisting businesses and organizations in the recruitment, hiring, training and retaining of people with disabilities. Local BLNs also assist businesses in diversifying their customer base to include the estimated 2.2 million Floridians with disabilities. |
