Definitions:
-
(1)
(minimum wage) the lowest hourly pay rate that employers are legally allowed to pay workersMinimum wage laws set a floor for wages so workers aren't paid extremely low amounts for their labor. In the U.S., there is a federal minimum wage, and many states and cities set higher minimum wages that employers must follow. Some jobs with tips (like servers) can have special rules. The term can also be used to describe a lowest wage set by a union.
