More details to this question:
I want to pay an additional $100 per month to my $12.00 an hour workers and not to my $18.00 an hour workers. Is this legal or does it violate some discrimination rule?

There is nothing illegal per se about doing this. However, adding a fixed amount of money to your hourly employees’ pay may raise their effective “hourly rate” when it comes time to calculate overtime. This area of law is a minefield for employers, but we can help you navigate it. Please give us a call.
