The lowest legal hourly wage an employer can pay an employee.
Minimum wage is the minimum amount per hour, day, or month that employers are legally required to pay employees. Minimum wage rates vary by country, region, age, and sometimes industry. Failure to pay at least the minimum wage is illegal and can result in significant penalties. HR payroll software automatically checks compensation against current minimum wage rates and alerts HR teams when employees fall below the legal threshold. Key examples: UK National Living Wage (£11.44/hour for 21+), US Federal Minimum Wage ($7.25/hour).
