Minimum Wage Tennessee

What are the minimum wages for Memphis, Tennessee?

Tennessee is one of 5 US states with no minimum wage. (The others are Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina.) If you are an employer with more than $500,000 in revenue, you are covered under the federal minimum wage, which is currently $5.85 per hour. On July 24, 2008 the federal minimum wage will go up to $6.55 per hour.

There is no minimum wage for smaller employers in Tennessee. However, if you engage in interstate commerce — buying or selling products across state lines — then even small employers are covered under the federal minimum wage.
