An Act relative to a youth training wage
This bill establishes a special minimum wage for workers under 18 who need a work permit and work 20 hours or less per week. During their first 120 hours with a new employer (a "training period"), these young workers must receive at least $10 per hour, even if it's below the standard minimum wage. The provision exempts them from regular minimum wage requirements only for this initial training period. It directly affects minor workers in entry-level, part-time positions requiring work permits.
