I live in the bronx and I would like to know what the minimum wage is right now. Hourly and daily if posible. How do employers figure out how much to pay day to day if not by hour. Thank you.
The General Industry Minimum Wage Act states that all employees in New York State, including most domestic workers, must be paid at least $7.15 per hour beginning January 1, 2007.
The basic rate may be modified by certain requirements set under regulations known as 鈥渨age orders.鈥?These provisions of the minimum wage law cover jobs in the restaurant, hotel, and building service industry, and miscellaneous industries and occupations. They set an hourly rate plus overtime and allowances in four General Industry Wage Orders, based on meals and lodging supplied by an employer.
Some industries make allowances for tips, thus they set a lower hourly rate. For example, food service workers may earn $4.60 per hour because their total compensation includes expected tips. When required uniforms are maintained by the worker, certain allowances also apply. Other service workers have a minimum rate of $5.40 per hour. There are also allowances for meals and lodging supplied by an employer.
