SubMinimum Wage/ Youth Minimum Wage
The Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) allows employers to pay certain individuals below the minimum wage.
This includes: student-learners
(vocational education students), full-time students employed by retail or
service establishments, agriculture, or institutions of higher education. Also included are individuals whose earning
or productive capacity is impaired by a physical or mental disability, which
includes those related to age or injury, for the work to be performed.
Subminimum wage is designed to
prevent the loss of employment opportunities for these individuals. The Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division issues
certificates, which is required for this type of employment.
The youth minimum
wage, authorized by the FLSA, allows employers to pay employees under the
age of 20 years a lower wage for 90 calendar days after they are first
employed. Any wage above $4.25 an hour may be paid to eligible workers during
this 90-day period. |
