Maybe. You need to look at the minimum wage law for YOUR state (there are different laws). In some cases, salesmen, apprentices, persons being trained, immediate family of business owner, persons that receive tips, persons with a disability in a sheltered workshop, etc- can all be paid less than the State minimum wage. However, if you are not in the excluded groups, you must be paid minimum wage.
