Currently, as per federal law, employers are required to pay employees at least $7.25 per hour, although many state laws (and some cities and counties) have different minimum wage requirements. However, many federal lawmakers and citizens want to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour because they claim that workers making less than that are still living in poverty and are unable to provide for their families.
Whether the federal minimum wage is increased, the question is: Should your organization pay its employees more than the required minimum wage?
