联邦最低工资标准
联邦最低工资的规定载于 《公平劳动标准法》(FLSA)。联邦最低工资自 2009年7月24日 起为 每小时7.25美元。许多州也拥有自己的最低工资法律。部分州法为雇员提供了更高的保护;雇主必须同时遵守联邦与州法律。
FLSA 并未针对超过其规定范围的、雇员通常或约定的工资或佣金提供薪酬追讨程序。然而,一些州确实拥有相关法律,允许就此类索赔(有时包括附加福利)提出申诉。
The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Many states also have minimum wage laws. Some state laws provide greater employee protections; employers must comply with both.
The FLSA does not provide wage payment collection procedures for an employee’s usual or promised wages or commissions in excess of those required by the FLSA. However, some states do have laws under which such claims (sometimes including fringe benefits) may be filed.
