I work in a small pizza shop and work only around 15 hours a week. I get paid $5.65/hr. There arent any full time workers so I know minimum wage is different but still think it should be more. What should the min be and what can i do about it?

We'll assume the FLSA applies - rarely doesn't. (Your employer needs to have gross annual sales of at least $500,000 and/or engage in interstate commerce.)
How old are you? (Are you a youth worker)
Are you a full-time student?
Do you get any tips?
How long have you worked there - over 90 days?
Thanks.Last edited by Betty3; 01-08-2008, 11:16 PM.Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo Buscaglia

Bigger problem. Minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.15.I don't respond to Private Messages unless the moderator specifically refers you to me for that purpose. Thank you.Comment

Pennsylvania does have a youth training wage, but it is the Federal minimum wage ($5.85) and it must increase to the State's mimimum wage on the 20th birthday or after 60 days, whichever is earlier.Senior Professional in Human Resources and Certified Staffing Professional with over 30 years experience.

We still don't know what wage OP should be paid. We don't know for sure they are a youth or that the business qualifies as a small employer.
However, it seems they are not being paid enough per hour in Pa. no matter what. jessie13- (You're not age 13 are you?) You might want to put in a claim with your state's DOL for underpaid wages.
Hopefully, the FLSA applies.Last edited by Betty3; 01-09-2008, 01:31 PM.Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo Buscaglia
