What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the state minimum age law requires that employers pay a living
wage to their employees. The state minimum wage law, however, does not apply to
an individual engaged in the house-to-house delivery of newspapers or in direct
retail sale to the consumer, a real estate agent or salesperson who is remunerated
solely by commission, an individual who volunteers to perform services for the state
or a local governmental unit, an elective officer of the state or a local governmental
unit, or a personal staffer, policymaking appointee, or immediate advisor of such an
elective officer. In addition, the Department of Workforce Development has
exempted, by rule, from the state minimum wage law employees who perform less
than 15 hours per week of casual employment, such as babysitting or lawn mowing,
in and around an employer's home, employees who provide companionship services
to elderly or infirm individuals, and elementary and secondary school students
performing work-like activities in their schools.
This bill exempts from the state minimum wage law an individual engaged on
a seasonal basis in performing services for a ski resort that are directly related to
skiing.
