There are a few levels of minimum wage. It depends on on the employer and how much the company makes. If you are considered a large employer and make more than $625,000 gross volume sales you must pay $7.25 an hour, which is the federal law. If the amount is less then $625,000 then the amount is $5.25 an hour. If you are under the age of 16 you can't work before 7AM or later than 9PM. The only job that doesn't follow the rule is a newspaper carrier. Also if under the age of 16 you can't work more than 40 hours a week and 8 hours in a 24 hour period. If you're 16 or 17 you can't work later than 11 PM or earlier than 5 AM. Unless there's written permission from an adult then they can work from 4:30AM-11:30PM.
