There's exempt and non-exempt employees and FLSA. You can read oodles about those three topics and learn so much about employment practices and law in the USA.

Great. The cost of living in FL has gone up quite a tad the last few years.

It would be a virtual impossibility to live where I am in South Florida on $6.15 per hour. That wouldnt even pay the rent on a 1 bed apartment in the shitty end of town.
