Minimum wage for anything but full-time adults is 6.15 for larger companies.(Ones who makes over 600,000.) It is 5.25 for smaller companies. Most state laws are iffy about probational periods, so I wouldn't count it out. |

That's illegal. You should tell him to change it to $7.25 or you will bring it up to the authorities and he should do it right away. |

She is taking advantage of you because you are young. It is illegal to get less than the minimum wage. Minimum means the very least. I have never heard of getting paid less than the minimum for 90 days. |

You get paid less when you are under 18. I believe you are getting paid the right amount. |

It depends on where you live. I live in Australia and if you look up the award wage they are paying you under, it does say under a certain age they can pay 80% 90% etc. You're better off asking your employer what the wage rate is called and searching on google to find it. |

Trust me it is legal. I have been working since I was 15. I am now 18. Until you are 18 they do not have to pay you min wage. There is nothing you can do about it. |

This is from the federal dept of labor website: http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs32.htm - sounds like the manager is correct, for 90 calendar days. |

it depends on the state...but i know in michigan the labor laws state that if you are under 16 (i think...maybe even 18) that employers can pay you as low as 80% of minimum wage and by law if you are in school you can only work 20 hours a week. |

Your boss is right, except it is for anyone under 20 years of age. If they keep you after the 90 days they are required by law to pay you full minimum wage.

What is the youth minimum wage?
The youth minimum wage is authorized by Section 6(g) of the FLSA, as amended by the 1996 FLSA Amendments. The law allows employers to pay employees under 20 years of age a lower wage for a limited period -- 90 calendar days, not work days -- after they are first employed. Any wage rate above $4.25 an hour may be paid to eligible workers during this 90-day period.
