Under the FLSA, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009 through the present. Thus, employers subject to the provisions of the FLSA may not pay employees at a rate of less than $7.25 per hour for all hours of compensable time worked. However, many of the states have a higher minimum wage (see below).

And while many states have laws dictating a higher minimum wage than that required under federal law, some states do not.

How must states apply or enforce their laws?

States must apply laws uniformly. For example, a State Trooper in charge of the Barracks can't let his uncle off the hook for a traffic violation, but still ticket everyone else pulled over. A police check point must uniformly apply a method for assessing drivers, such as "every car" or "every third car". A State Treasurer cannot forgive his mother's taxes... etc.
