EOC Week VII: Minimum Wage



Minimum Wage is fine where it is.  If the job only requires an employee to be paid 7.25 hourly because they are only completed a simple task, than that is the wage they should be paid.  Employees should be paid for their skills, and what they can contribute; not based on a state standard.  Generally, employers may establish wages and salaries as they wish, but they also must comply with federal, state, and local laws that directly affect compensation programs” (Hayes)  What about when the government mandates those rates need to be waged?  Are people thinking only of the employees or the employers in this instance?  Employers are responsible for figuring out where the extra funds will come from to pay their employees.
