The act created the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) within the Department of Labor to enforce the act. The FLSA established a federal minimum wage of $0.25 an hour. The FLSA also requires that employees receive one and a half times their hourly wage for every hour worked beyond a standard workweek. The FLSA applies to employers whose annual sales are greater than $500,000 or engage in interstate commerce. If the employer does not meet the $500,000 threshold, the employee may still be covered by the FLSA if they engaged in interstate commerce. The FLSA allows for certain employees to be paid a subminimum wage. For example, tipped employees may be paid less than the basic minimum wage, but their cash wage plus tips must at least equal the basic minimum wage. Other types of employees who may be paid a subminimum wage include: certain disabled workers, new hires under the age of 20, and student learners (Minimum Wage Overview: Provisions Of The Fair Labor Standards Act. (Cover story), 2013). Employees whose jobs are governed by the FLSA are classified as either “exempt” or “nonexempt”. Employees who are exempt are not entitled to overtime pay. To be classified as exempt, employees must earn a minimum of $455 per week and meet certain duties tests for their job type. Executive, Administrative, and Professional employees are exempt provided their jobs meet the standards. Outside salespersons and

The fight for raising the minimum wage to $15 that has motivated city campaigns to raise the low wage fast food workers. Fast food workers are teaming up for their own civil rights in support raising their low wage. Going $15 an hour rises by 67% of New York minimum pay.

The federal minimum wage is a clearly defined wage that must be paid by businesses to their employees. Failure to accommodate the federal minimum wage is violation of federal law and punishable by the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor. Debate over the minimum wage rate has been revived in recent years, largely due to President Barack Obama’s belief that the minimum wage should be increased. Currently the minimum wage stands at $7.25 per hour. The minimum wage is $2.13 for a worker who receives tips, assuming that the wage with tips amounts to at least the federal minimum wage. There appears to be a fairly even split in those who believe the wage should be increased and those who believe it should not change; this would be the reason debate over the issue

If the profession is waiting tables, the minimum wage is $5.00 per hour plus tips. If a person is an immigrant

States such as Tennessee and Alabama do not have a minimum wage law within the state, so workers would get the $7.25 in these states as a starting wage. States such as California and New Mexico have both the federal and state wage laws. This means the worker would be entitled to the higher of the two wages as a starting wage. Looking at the visual above there are some states that pay below minimum wage.

My reflection on the show was that the dominant group was definitely were white male, and few white females in the second competition section. In the second competition section, male’s performance was better than female because there had no female catch the calf. But few male was catch the calf. The same competition of first and third section were all white male which I believed that the section was too dangerous for female to competed. Since cowboys who dropped off from the horseback seemed painful and hurtful which was not good to women’s body. In the realistic world, people tend to believe that men are stronger than women in gender role, so that women maybe too weak to handle that dangerous activity.

“I think it is a great idea to implement the $15 minimal wage, but bad at the same time, not all businesses can apply $15 an hour,” said Ms. Vivian Baquero, representative for private Cuban restaurant, Amor Cubano, located in East Harlem.

Tipping has emerged as a major method of compensating wait staff ever since the 1960s when Congress passed the provision within Fair Labor Standards Act legislation which introduced the “tip credit” (Allegretto & Cooper, July 10, 2014). The FLSA provision set the minimum wage for tipped employees at $2.13 per hour, given that the employees would ‘earn’ $7.25 per hour from tips. The government considers employees who earn more than $30 per month as tipped employees. The tipped minimum wage has adversely impacted tipped employees, which includes barbers, stylists, wait staff, doormen, etc., such that they need to provide a high level of service so they can receive generous tips. The tipped minimum wage provision assigns tipped employees to high poverty due to their low income salary levels.
