What age must an employee be to receive the federal minimum wage without restriction?

Under 18
Under 20
Any age
Over 21

The correct answer is: Any age

An employee can receive the federal minimum wage without any age-related restrictions, meaning there is no minimum age requirement for receiving this wage. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes that minors can be paid the federal minimum wage; however, there are provisions regarding the types of work and hours that minors can work. For individuals aged 18 and older, there are no restrictions related to their age regarding the payment of the federal minimum wage. Therefore, any employee, regardless of age, is entitled to receive at least the federal minimum wage as long as they are engaged in work that is subject to the FLSA regulations. This understanding is crucial for employers and employees alike to ensure compliance with labor laws.
