If the report is approved the Department shall make a directory order which shall define minimum fair wage rates in the occupation or occupations as recommended in the report of the wage board and which shall include such proposed administrative regulations deemed appropriate to implement or supplement report of the wage board and to safeguard the minimum fair wage standards established.
