Minimum wage laws establish a base level of pay that employers are required to pay certain covered employees. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. In addition to a federal minimum wage, some states also have their own minimum wages, codified either in a state statute or in the state's constitution. States are broken up into 4 classifications for minimum wage:

• STATUTE
• federal statute
• state law
• federal law
• WAGES
• Fair Labor Standards Act
• labor law
• labor

Statutory construction is the process of determining what a particular statute means so that a court may apply it accurately; also known as statutory interpretation. Although sometimes the words of a statute may have a plain meaning; in many cases there is some ambiguity in the words of the statute that must be resolved by the judge.
