According to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), all employers conducting business in the United States are required to pay their workers at least $7.25 per hour. Not all employees are paid by the hour, though. Some of them are paid per shift, per piece, or on commission. However, no matter how they are paid, their total hours worked and wages paid must equal out to at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
