What percentage must a minor be paid in relation to the normal wage?

80%
90%
100%
110%

The correct answer is: 100%

In the context of labor laws, minors (typically defined as individuals under the age of 18) must be compensated fairly for their work. According to the regulations in many states, including Utah, minors are entitled to receive the same hourly wage as adults performing similar work. This means that the appropriate compensation for a minor is 100% of the normal wage that other employees are paid for the same work. This policy ensures that minors receive equitable pay and discourages wage discrimination based on age. The other options (80%, 90%, and 110%) do not reflect the standard wage practices for minors. Paying less than the full wage would be both unethical and often illegal, while offering more than 100% is not typically necessary or common practice in standard employment situations. Thus, the accurate compensation percentage for a minor aligns with the principle of equal pay for equal work, which is why the correct answer is 100%.
