In some states restaurateurs only pay waitresses a mere pittance of $2.15 an hr. Don't know who else gets away w/ this...oh yes, in some western cities they'll pay car wash workers a flat amount for a whole day plus split any tips if they should be lucky enough to get any.
No, minimum is minimum no matter what age.
Actually, the minimum wage helps to protect both the worker and the employer. The minimum wage acts as a guideline for the employer so he can assess what other employers are paying for unskilled work. As the complexity of the job tasks increase, the employer can raise the remuneration in order to retain the more experienced workers. The minimum wage aides the unskilled worker in that it helps to protect him from employer exploitation.
The Minimum wage is 7.50 as far as I know
Minimum wage is generally paid to people who do not have a specific skill or ability. If the 15 year old can do something for the employer that might be considered to be a skill that isn't common, he/she might be able to get more than minimum wage.
Yes, but you still have to reach the minimum floor before you actually get any deduction for it.
Certainly, but not below the minimum wage.
This differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.In the United States, federally, the wage and tips have to equal at least minimum wage. Your employer HAS to pay you the difference of your tips from minimum wage, if you didn't end up meeting minimum wage.Example: If minimum wage is $8.00 and after that hour, you only received $6 in tips, then your employer owes you $2.00 for that hour. This can also be figured per shift totals. Exa: $8.00/hr per 8 Hour shift = $64/shift. If you only received $50 in tips that whole shift, then your employer owes you $14 for that shift.In Ontario, Canada, tips do not count towards regular wages. Your employer must pay you at least minimum wage beforetips.

It could mean the employer is requiring at a minimum of an associates degree for the posted job. It should have read simply as, "associates degree required."It could mean the employer is requiring at a minimum of an associates degree for the posted job.

It is more the minimum amount of money that an employer has to pay versus the number of hours. If an employee works less than 3 hours than the employer is required to pay the employee an amount equal to 3 hours of work at the minimum wage in the respective province. So for example, in Alberta the minimum wage is $8.80/ hours X 3 hours is $26.40, so if the employee's hourly rate is in excess of the minimum wage, for example $12.00, than the employer is only required to pay 2.2 hours, which is $26.40 / 12.
Florida minimum wage posters should have the state minimum wage information. An employer is required by law to post this information.
