Minimum wage in Kansas is $5.15/hr.
***Edit***
Checked your reference and you're right BUT... did you read the rest of Kansas' info?--
"The State law excludes from coverage any employment that is subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act."--
It means this applies to all jobs EXCEPT those covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which is ALL jobs except those such as servers, wait staff... etc. All I know is when I have applied for minimum wage jobs, its always been at $5.15 , Thank God I don't have to do that anymore!

And it states below that this applies only to jobs that are not part of the Federal Fair Labor Act, which minimum wage is a part of. A person working as a waiter/waitress will get the 2.65 because they are not part of the act covered, so the state wage wins out. The federal wage wins out for any other employee earning hourly income.
There is your answer.

The only way that the minimum wage can be lower than the Federally mandated wage is for people in the food service like waiters. States can only go higher and not lower than the Federal rate.

somewhat, state regulation, no count if that's greater useful for the worker than federal regulation, must be observed. No business enterprise can do under the federal employment regulations, yet whilst the state regulation can provide an superior minimum salary that federal, then the state regulation must be observed. cutting-edge federal minimum salary is $6.fifty 5 -- no state can pass under that. regardless of the shown fact that, there are some job classifications interior each and each state that do pay much less. So look at your state's branch of hard paintings internet internet site.

Kansas minimum wage was more than that 20 years ago. Unless you are talking about waiters or hotel workers or people exempt from the minimum requirement due to tips and such. Might want to do a bit more research on this issue.

minimum wage is a flim-flam slight of hand trick that the Dems use at election time. Most states have their minumum set above the federal minimum. Additionally, the dems increase the minimum wage, then raise taxes, businesses raise prices to offset the taxes and the consumer pays more for goods and services, nullifying any gain from an increase in minumum wage. A sham ploy to get your vote.

The answerer above is right. That sounds like the standard wage for servers, who get tips to make up the difference.

You might want to check again. Federal supersedes State. If you are talking about a food service job, then you are supplemented by tips and that is a whole different ballgame.

That's a waitress wage. That's why tipping is customary.
Who told you that $2.65 is min wage in KS?
