SB1292112th GA (Historical)Introduced

Amends TCA Title 8 and Title 50.

This bill requires an employer to pay an employee whose earning or productive capacity is impaired by age, physical, or mental deficiency, or injury no less than the federal minimum wage under federal law (which is currently $7.25 per hour). This bill will apply regardless of the subminimum wage authorized pursuant to federal law. Under the subminimum wage authorization of federal law, an employer may pay less than minimum wage to certain individuals, such as certain students and individuals whose earning or productive capacity is impaired by a physical or mental disability, including those related to age or injury. This bill defines "employee" to mean a person born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, or a person legally present in this country, either of whom is employed by an employer. An "employer" for purposes of this bill includes an individual, partnership, association, corporation, business trust, legal representative, or any organized group of persons, not involved in interstate commerce, acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee.
