The minimum wage is in place to ensure that workers are reimbursed for their labor by at least a minimum standard. The goal is to prevent the exploitation of workers.
Many people assume they are automatically covered by the minimum wage law, but the truth is that there are exceptions in place in certain industries and for certain jobs. Some of the exceptions to the federal minimum wage include workers with disabilities, employees under 20 years old during the first 3 months of their job, full-time students, student learners, tipped employees, messengers, and apprentices.
