Minimum Wage
No matter what industry you work in, you have the right to a certain minimum hourly wage. This is due to a United States law that has been in effect since 1938. Check to see if you are getting paid the right amount by comparing your pay with the required minimum hourly rate for your state. Federal law states that employees must be paid at least $7.25 per hour, while New York State Law states that employees must be paid at least $15.00 per hour.
For instance, if you receive a flat rate of $500 per week while working 60 hours or more, you are being paid below the minimum wage, and your boss is cheating you. If you suspect that your pay is too low, set up an appointment with Raymond Nardo. Receiving pay less than the minimum wage amount requires action, and he will work hard to fight for your proper pay.
