Abstract
In December 2024, the Department of Labor issued a Final Rule to eliminate employers’ ability to pay subminimum wages to individuals with disabilities under federal law. Currently, Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act allows employers to apply for certificates permitting payment below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour if a worker's earning capacity is impaired by age, disability, or injury. This provision applies only when necessary to avoid limiting employment opportunities for these workers.
