Massachusetts minimum wage is $8.00 per hour. The wage rate automatically increases to 10 cents above the rate set in the Fair Labor Standards Act if the Federal minimum wage equals or becomes higher than the State minimum. An employee who resigns his or her employment must be paid in full on the following regular pay day, or in the absence of a regular pay day, no later than the following Saturday. An employee involuntarily terminated from employment or is laid off must be paid in full on the day of discharge. Tip pooling in which tips are distributed to any person not a wait staff, service employee or service bartender is prohibited.*
Employment permits are required for minors under age 18 and must be issued for and maintained at the site where the minor is working. Employment permits are issued by the superintendent of schools in the city or town where the minor attends school or lives. Employees must be paid at least one and one-half times their regular hourly rate of pay for all hours in excess of 40 per week. The overtime rate for employees who receive the service rate must be calculated based upon the basic minimum wage.*
