As I understand it, the Florida minimum wage is $13 per hour plus the FICA taxes of about 7 percent, so a migrant worker makes about $30K per year. Also, the employer must offer affordable health insurance for the worker as per the ACA law. Are you suggesting that employers are not compling with these requirements?
