Question

the minimum Wage }salary{ in New York possably Brooklyn,Manhattan For exsample

Answer 1

According to the US Department of Labor it is $5.15 per hour. It is a US law, so won't be different in NYC.

Answer 2

There are two minimum wages. There is a Federal Minimum Wage and then whatever your state sets. If your state's minimum is higher than the Fed's, then the state's minimum prevails. Federal Minimum is $5.15/hour. New York's is $6.75. It will go to $7.15 on January 1, 2007.

Answer 3

The New York State minimum wage is $6.75 per hour as of January 1, 2006. It will increase to $7.15 per hour as of January 1, 2007. Any increase in the federal wage above the state rate will result in an increase in the state's minimum wage.

Food Service workers --waiters and waitresses -- who earn at least $2.40 per hour in tips may be paid at a minimum wage rate of $4.35 per hour.

Answer 4

"Employees covered by a State Minimum Wage Order must be paid for overtime hours at one and one-half times the basic minimum wage of $6.75 per hour."

Federal law is less, but the state law prevails if it is higher than federal law.
