Yes, because I'm not a company.
It's the same reason why if I pay my nephew $5 to mow my lawn, I'm not violating minimum wage laws.
The law in the United states is that employers may not tell contractors how to do their job or else they'll be considered employees. I'm not an employer.
- Animats 3y agoYes, you are.[1] "Domestic workers are entitled to the minimum wage, with the exception of babysitters under the age of 18 and the employer’s parent, spouse, or child." Not nephews, cousins, and other more distant relatives. This is California. Federal law has the "McDonald's Exception", enacted in 1996. [2] "A special minimum wage of $4.25 per hour applies to employees under the age of 20 during their first 90 consecutive calendar days of employment with an employer."
