Minimum wage question?

Minimum wage question?

Is it legal to pay under minimum wage if a company has under
ten employees or less? Just wondering because I work at one
and make $6.65 an hour.
Additional Details
I live in Pennsylvania and the current minimum wage is $7.15.

Yes. there are certain laws that allow companies to pay below the minimum wage if the size of the company in terms of revenues, no. of employees is minimal. better check out the latest wage order to determine the exemptions as it varies in different places.

Would have been easier to answer your question if you mentioned what state you are in. What the poster Lorna wrote is correct. The state of Nevada for example can pay below depending on revenue of company and number of employees and they are only allowed to go below the states determined wage rate. Go to the department of labor website and click on your state to find out your states wage and hour laws.

if the law stipulates $6.65/hour then it's the law. if you get paid less then they are breaking the law and you can sue the company for back wages. unless you are an illegal.

No it isn't legal.

Call the feds.
