Alabama does not have any state laws governing wage and hour issues. The County's Minimum wage increases take effect in July of each year (based upon the size of a business).Our ESS unit handles an array of employment issues, including, but not limited to, enforcement of laws concerning wages and time off. The minimum wage for 2023 varies based on the number of employees. The Wage Requirement Law Program ensures workers on County funded projects receive livable wages. If you are an employee and you believe your wages have been illegally withheld, please refer to the following information. Montgomery County offers employees an optional 457B Deferred Compensation Plan. This Plan provides employees with additional tax-advantaged retirement savings. All full-time employees participate in the County pension plan as members immediately upon hire. We enforce the State Labor Laws for minimum wage, hours of work, employment of minors, payment of wages, farm labor, nursing mothers in the workplace, and more.
