Overview of Minimum Wage Laws
Minimum wage laws are a critical aspect of protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair compensation in the workplace. These laws establish the minimum hourly wage that employers must pay their employees. The specific minimum wage rate can vary between states, industries, and even local jurisdictions.
In the United States, the federal minimum wage is currently set at $7.25 per hour. However, many states have their own minimum wage laws, and employers must comply with the higher of the two rates applicable to their jurisdiction. It's essential for both employers and employees to understand the minimum wage requirements specific to their location.
