Minor League Baseball players exempted from Wisconsin wage laws

Many state labor laws in Wisconsn no longer apply to Minor League Baseball players after Gov. Tony Evers signed legislation to redefine what counts as minium wage overtime and record keeping.

The bill allows the state's players on the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in Appleton and the Beloit Sky Carp to adhere to the rules of a 2023 collective bargaining agreement that runs through 2027 instead of being subject to reporting hours for their jobs.
