tennessee minimum wage

Doing more research for the topic of minimum wage I decided to take it to take a state wide approach and the research show that minimum wage in the state of Tennessee is 5.15 and this was in May of 2007 it was a 2 year long investigation that came out to be a violation of the federal Tennessee minimum wage law. Thanks to the ABC Professional Tree Service they are the ones who started the 2 year investigation from back in August of 2004 and they found all the problems with the states that are not following the minimum wage laws. There was a Fair Standard Act that made the minimum wage of 5.15 cover a 40 a week period and any time over that were entitled to be paid with the equivalence of an hour and a half for every hour work when doing overtime. As I continued to read Tennessee was not the only state that violated the Fair Standard Act there were 16 other states that also were involved in the 5.15 minimum wage outrage. The following states were: Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, North Caroline, Tennessee, South Carolina, New Jersey, Cincinnati, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey. And they were forced to pay 1.8 million to 2,501 employees according to the US department of Law
