Unless otherwise provided by statute, no person, firm or corporation shall employ any employee at an hourly rare lower that that set forth in the federal minimum wage law, which is $7.25 These limitations shall not apply to employees engaged in household labor, domestic labor, farm labor, outside sales representatives, summer camps for minors, newspaper carriers, non-professional ski patrol and golf caddies.

Except for employees of employers who are covered by the Fair Labors Standards Act, and seasonal employees of employers operating less than six months, employees shall be paid at the rate of time and one half for all time worked in excess of 40 hours in any week.
