Alert: End Subminimum Wage for People with Disabilities
Under current law, people with disabilities can be paid below minimum wage in certain jobs or industries. This is a longstanding regulation that the Biden Administration seeks to end. Subminimum wage hinders progress for people with disabilities because it exploits workers, creates inequities, and disincentivizes employers from providing equal pay.
We can advance these changes by telling the government how important it is to end subminimum wage. The government is accepting comments until January 17, 2025.
