Minimum wage law only applies within the U.S.: even if you work for a U.S.-based company, if you perform you work outside the country, minimum wage does not apply. Any workers who are located within the geographic borders of the U.S., however, must be paid at least minimum wage, and if not, could contact the Dept. of Labor to file a complaint.There is NO right to paid what you consider a fair or appropriate wage, and your employer may take advantage of you  So long as they comply with any applicable minimum wage law, the employer can otherwise pay you as little as it wants.
