Is there a minimal wage for underage workers?

Sure. Whatever they'll accept.

QUOTE (existwhere? @ Jul 9 2008, 11:48 PM) Is there a minimal wage for underage workers? What do you mean by underage? Under 18 or under 15? Why wouldn't minimum wage apply to everyone? -------------------- Nothing, I have nothing to say.

-------------------- My dog doesn't lick his own butt. He doesn't eat poop or step in it. I'll concede that he does smell other dogs' butts and he does lick "himself." I'd prefer it if he doesn't lick me right after that, so I employ a few minutes of buffer time between licking other things and me and I try to get him to drink some water too. - VLG

QUOTE (Tova @ Jul 10 2008, 10:07 AM) Is there a minimal wage for illegal workers? Same question. Does the minimal wage apply even if the worker is illegal? With the US justice system, giving rights to illegal immigrants, you never know. It's worth checking. -------------------- "If they would allow one dead soul to visit an assembly of philosophers, that would be the end of all their teachings."

It's worth checking. You are being ridiculous. By law it's illegal to employ illegal aliens as it is illegal to pay someone less than minimum wage. It is also illegal to employ anyone under the age of 16 for certain jobs. 2 violations or 1 violation. What's the friggin difference. -------------------- My dog doesn't lick his own butt.

OK, I was just wondering if someone can legally threaten their employer if they are underage for not paying minimal wage.

QUOTE (existwhere? @ Jul 10 2008, 04:27 PM) OK, I was just wondering if someone can legally threaten their employer if they are underage for not paying minimal wage. (this thread is completely hypothetical.) Depends on several factors, such as age, location, whether it's a family business, and type of work. Non-hypothetical questions could be asked of the Department of Labor (or equivalent agency) in one's state. -------------------- I am DEMANDING that the Rabbonim start screaming about this.
