Download

With the increases in minimum wage across the country, more employers are examining the exceptions to federal and state law that permit the payment of a "training wage." Some employees may even be paid a "special minimum wage" or a "subminimum wage." Furthermore, employers are considering whether they are required to pay employees for the time spent in training, meetings, and lectures. Finally, employers may want to pay one wage, e.g., the minimum wage, for training time and a higher rate for the time spent on productive work. This comprehensive "Training Wage or Special Minimum Wage" policy document provides tips and considerations for drafting your policy, legal points to consider, and a sample policy.
