Labor Laws https://youtu.be/Zi_mZdqG8mk Minimum Wage Law Overtime Pay Overtime pay, also called "time and a half pay", is one and a half times an employee's normal hourly wage. Therefore, Minnesota's overtime minimum wage is $15.00 per hour, one and a half times the regular Minnesota minimum wage of $10.00 per hour. If you earn more than the Minnesota minimum wage rate, you are entitled to at least 1.5 times your regular hourly wage for all overtime worked. Example $10 x 1.5 = $15 Overtime Pay Minnesota sets the state overtime cut-off as all hours worked over 48 in a single week, which is higher then the national weekly overtime limit of 40. A variety of occupations are completely exempted from Minnesota's overtime pay laws, including taxi drivers, many seasonal employees, most salespeople, mechanics, certain agricultural employees, sugar beet hand laborers, babysitters, and employees installing farm equipment. White-collar workers and workers who have arranged alternative overtime compensation through collective bargaining are also exempted from Minnesota's overtime laws.  Answer these questions...
