Official deffinition for
minimum
training wage for younger workers
from Pa Dept. of Labor & Industry
A 60-day training wage may be paid to employees under 20 years old effective
January 1, 2007. This wage matches the current federal minimum wage of
$5.15 per hour. Eligible employees may be paid the training wage up to
the day before the employee’s 20th birthday. On and after the employee's
20th birthday, pay must be raised to the regular Pennsylvania minimum wage
even if the 60-day period has not expired. Should there be an increase
in the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour, then there will be the same
increase in the Pennsylvania training wage for youths.
