MINIMUM WAGE VIOLATIONS
MINIMUM WAGE VIOLATIONS
The minimum wage is currently $16.00 per hour. For fast food establishments that are part of a chain of at least 60 locations nationwide, the minimum wage is $20.00 per hour. Healthcare minimum wage is $18-$23 per hour.
In addition, some city ordinances require a higher minimum wage depending on where you work.
If you are required to buy your own hand tools for work, you must be paid an hourly rate of at least twice the minimum wage.
A common employer cheat on minimum wage involves employers who pay by the job or by the piece rate. It is illegal for an employer to refuse to pay at least minimum wage for all hours worked, including unproductive work time. An employer can pay a lower rate for unproductive work time but cannot pay less than minimum wage, nor can the employer average all hours worked to satisfy the minimum wage violation. Yes, this sounds technical, because it is technical. We can help you sort it all out.
