Minimum wage for kitchen empoyees in a resaurant?

Question

I am working in the kitchen without tips in Missouri, for $5.15 an hour. Minimum wage is $6.65 as of January 2008. I was just wondering why I do not get paid minimum wage yet I don't get tips either.

Answer 1

The Missouri minimum wage was $6.50 per hour effective January 1, 2007. When do I have to start paying the new Minimum Wage of $6.65 per hour and why did it increase from $6.50?



A: If your business is subject to the provisions of the law, you need to pay the minimum wage of $6.65 per hour to all employees covered by the law starting January 1, 2008. Section 290.502.2, RSMo requires the Director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to, on September 30, 2007, measure the increase or decrease in the cost of living percentage increase or decrease as of the preceding July over the level as of July of the immediate preceding year. The amount of the minimum wage increase or decrease is rounded to the nearest 5 cents. The minimum wage shall be increased or decreased on January 1, 2008 and on January 1 of successive years based on the increase or decrease in the cost of living. The 2008 increase is based on a 2.2 percentage change in the Consumer Price Index between July 2006 and July 2007. This is calculated using CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Midwest Region, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, as follows:
