As an employer, how can I pay my employees under the table so I don't have to give them minimum wage?

As an employer, it is illegal to pay employees under the table, so it is recommended that you consult an accountant before attempting to do so. The most efficient and legal way to pay employees without meeting minimum wage requirements is through the use of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) exemptions. Specifically, if your employees fit within the scope of any of the FLSA’s exemptions (e.g. executive, administrative, or highly compensated employees), then you are allowed to pay them a reduced wage, as long as they meet certain requirements.
