How To Get More Money On Goal United?

PLEASE ANSWER****Is there a minimum amount of money you're allowed to get paid if you're getting a job in United States?

• I'm 15 and wondering how much money a job would get me... Is there like a minimum amount of money your boss must pay your like $5 per hour or $7 per hour? If this is true, then i'd be fine with ANY job as long as I make that minimum. Also, i'm pretty sure you would get paid every 2 weeks, right? Well I really wanna know how much money I would make in 2 weeks because my friend Phil says that he makes "300-500 dollars per every 2 weeks" and i think that's WAY too good to be true. He works minimum wage and he's 16. Oh, and I would also like to know the maximum amount of hours i'm allowed to work at my age (15) so maybe I can calculate how much money i'll make myself... Thanks :) PLEASE clear things up for me! Sorry if this is a boring question but I need help. Btw, I play school sports so i might have to quit them to get a job.

  http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/wages/minimumwage.htm Note minimum wage does not apply to tipped positions like waitering. If you're in school you'll generally be limited,during the school year,to 20 hours if I recall correctly. You might encounter some difficulty get a job till you're 16. Then there are restrictions concerning the use of certain things like meat slicers and such. Good luck!
