Minimum Wage

What is Minimum Wage?

Following the Fair Labor Standards Act, the minimum wage is the lowest salary an employer may offer to an hourly worker (FLSA). The federal minimum wage for non-exempt workers in the United States is now $7.25 per hour. Employers must adhere to their state’s minimum pay if it is higher than the federal minimum wage since some states have higher minimum wage requirements. Employers are required to pay non-exempt workers the federal minimum wage in states where the state minimum is less than the federal minimum.
