"No, volunteering does not violate minimum wage law. If there is no wage and no expectation of a wage, then how can a minimum wage apply? "
I'm sure he is correct about the letter of the law. That means I can work for the minimum wage or for free but for nothing in between. Does that make sense?
The minimum-wage law is generally considered to be a restriction on employers but it is also a restriction on would-be employees. This keeps some people, especially young people without experience, out of the work force. This can't be good.
