Regarding the minimum wage in Kansas

Minimum wage, which the federal government has set at $6.55, is not the real minimum wage.

In many cases workers with disabilities or full-time students are allowed to be paid under minimum wage. Same with people under 20, whose minimum wage is $4.25 for their first 90 days of work.

Then there’s the tip-based worker, who, according to the government, is anyone who “regularly receives more than $30 a month in tips.” They have to be payed $2.13 and hour. If the person doesn’t make enough tips to cover minimum wage, the employer has to make up the difference. That is as long as the restaurant grosses over $500,000 annually — if it doesn’t it fall under an exception for “workers whose employers gross under $500,000 annually and don’t produce for interstate commerce.” There are a lot of restaurants that don’t gross half-a-million per year and therefore only have to pay state minimum wage.

Any guesses on Kansas’ minimum wage?
