Did you know that employees covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act must be paid the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour instead of the state minimum wage of $6.15 an hour or $5.25 an hour for small employers?

Minnesota Compensation

Large employers covered by Minnesota's minimum wage law must pay employees at least $6.15 an hour and small employers must pay employees at least $5.25 an hour. Large employers are those whose annual gross volume of sales or business is at least $625,000. Employees covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act must receive the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.

All employees are covered except for:

those working in executive, administrative or professional capacities meeting certain
criteria;

Transportation;
