ELECTED GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE INCOME PAY RATE
EVERY UNITED STATES ELECTED OFFICIAL SHALL BE ON AN INCOME PAY RATE THAT MATCHES THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE ACT
The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages.
The FLSA does not provide wage payment or collection procedures for an employee's usual or promised wages or commissions in excess of those required by the FLSA. However, some states do have laws under which such claims (sometimes including fringe benefits) may be filed.
The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division administers and enforces the federal minimum wage law.

Why is this important?
The lack of efficient government duties that have led our nation into an economically deficient situation for its citizens has reached the epitome of incompetence; therefore the rate of compensation should reflect that effort!
