Employers violate minimum wage rules by:
1. paying employees the federal minimum wage rather than the higher state amount (or paying employees the state wage rather than a higher city wage)
2. paying employees a “salary” that averages out to less than the minimum wage per hour, or
3. failing to pay employees for all hours worked by, for example, requiring employees to work “off the clock” or work through their lunch breaks.
