Fair Wages
- If an employer paid a worker lower than the going rate for that type of work and a worker with his skills, the employee has no recourse to claiming that he should be paid more.[3]
- There is no halachic obligation to pay living wages (above minimum wage).[4]
- A worker can't take outside work without the consent of his employer only if the outside work will cause his productivity at his job to fall below the average productivity of those who have the same job.[5]
