Should it be okay to pay disabled employees, less then minimum wage as the government currently allows.
(For Sub-minimum wage) Also included are individuals whose earning or productive capacities are impaired by a physical or mental disability,
Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act authorizes employers, after receiving a certificate from the Wage and Hour Division, to pay special minimum wages — wages less than the Federal minimum wage — to workers who have disabilities for the work being performed.

Two years ago, there was a call to end this practice, but it never got through.
