The "Federal Minimum Wage" for covered, nonexempt employees is $5.15 per
hour. The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Many states also have minimum wage laws. In
cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum
wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum
wages.

The FLSA does not provide wage payment or collection procedures for an
employee's usual or promised wages or commissions in excess of those
required by the FLSA. However, some states do have laws under which such
claims (sometimes including fringe benefits) may be filed.

The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division administers and
enforces the federal minimum wage law.

should not matter unless you get tips then they can pay less

Wages - Subminimum Wage

Laws & Regulations on This Topic
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides for the employment of
certain individuals at wage rates below the minimum wage. These
individuals include student-learners (vocational education students), as
well as full-time students employed by retail or service establishments,
agriculture, or institutions of higher education. Also included are
individuals whose earning or productive capacity is impaired by a
physical or mental disability, including those related to age or injury,
for the work to be performed.

Employment at less than the minimum wage is designed to prevent the loss
of employment opportunities for these individuals. Certificates issued
by the Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division are required for this
type of employment.

The youth minimum wage is authorized by the FLSA, which allows employers
to pay employees under 20 years of age a lower wage for 90 calendar days
after they are first employed. Any wage rate above $4.25 an hour may be
paid to eligible workers during this 90-day period.

Compliance assistance materials regarding the subminimum wage are
available from the Office of Compliance Assistance Policy's Web site.

KYman, Those are directly from the US Department of Labor so if you find
ANY contradicting information it is WRONG...

Actually Sluggo your wrong there. Currently states are given a 6 month
window on the minimum age which as of Jan 1 was increased to I believe 7
dollars an hour and by june or July it must be atlest 7.25 an hour if I
am not mistaken in every state. If the states do not comply they will
not be eligable for any federal funding or aid.

I will get the documentation in a min for you and post it here

Go on baby with your SMART @@s! What a sexy turn on, lmao!!

might be true

oh n/m kyman I see what you was saying now a bet with grandson lol and
Kevin was the one that said it yes

well here in alberta canada the min pay for a dishwasher is $8.00 per
hour. a cook min pay is $10.00/hr.but if youwork above the 40hr week
time and a half kicks in.

MIKE IM A 70 SOMETHING MAN...CAN I SAY *MY BAD*? LOL I SHOULD HAVE MADE
MY STATEMENT (?) CLEARER..SORRY! RALPH

If you google it you will find that It was proposed and passed to be
7.25 within a two year period but has already taken effect in many
states prior to its actual inception Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and NY are
amoung the states that adopted the increase prior for sure. I just
finished reading an article that said when it went to vote in OK only
one vote was against it being raised. Many of the business owners are
upset by this nationwide as now they have to pay their workers a semi
fair wage for the same amount of work. What they are doing to twart that
is they are reducing their staffs and making the workers take on the
extra workload. The workers will get tired of that quickly and start to
slack off as they always have in the past thinking Minimum wage for
Minimum work and educational level. The wage has nothing to do with how
many hours you work but only if your in training or not. In Pennsylvania
it is already at 7 dollars an hour to be increased another quarter in
June or July if I am not mistaken. The bad part about it is if you do
not make minimum wage you will typically not get an increase in your pay
commesurate to the new people comming in the door.

your statement was fine I have food cooking so I read and type quick as
to not burn it making beans and fried taters lol
