- You can’t go lower than minimum wage. Those making minimum wage would benefit the most. 2. Companies still have to keep competitive salaries to maintain a workforce. If they lower their salaries they risk losing employees who can choose to go somewhere that doesn’t lower salaries. 3. It won’t cost employers anything to keep the same salary. This money would presumably be coming from reallocations of taxes that are currently being collected. For the employer it’s like getting a free raise for their employees.

Better to say “It’s unlawful to go lower than minimum wage”. Though, here are some lawful situations where employers pay sub-minimum wage. We all know companies don’t operate lawfully.

I knew there were circumstances where someone could be paid less than minimum wage but damn…we have a purpose made rule for people with disabilities? It makes me question the places I know have a tendency to hire people with mental disabilities. Did they do it to be kind? Or did they do it to have cheaper labor to go collect shopping carts?
