Can an employee be paid less than the minimum wage?
Minors must be paid at least the state minimum wage which is $7.50 an hour and applicable overtime rates. Employers may pay new employees 85% of the minimum wage while they are learning the new job, but only during their first 160 hours of work and only if they have no previous similar experience.
