<prompt> Human: Recently the city that my college is in raised the minimum wage to 8.20 an hour, but I am still being paid the federal minimum wage of 7.25 an hour. This is a non-work study through my university. Are they exempt from paying the city minimum wage or am I not getting paid the correct amount?  <response>: Depends on how the city minimum wage ordinance is written. In some cases, these only apply to businesses that do contract business with the city. Depending on your state law, if youre at a public university or college, then the city may not have jurisdiction over the collegeuniversity either way. So I guess the summary is: youd need to ask a lawyer familiar with your very specific situation.
