Situation

Ms. Yasmin recently graduated from college and after working briefly in another dental office, was hired by Dr. Ken as a dental assistant on January 2, YR-00. She and the doctor did not sign anything. Ms. Yasmin alleged that Dr. Ken agreed to pay her the minimum wage per hour with a gradual increase to her rate of pay to the average rate in the industry. Prior to accepting the position with Dr. Ken's office, Ms. Yasmin had been working for another dentist making $17.00 per hour. Ms. Yasmin had agreed to accept the position with Dr. Ken because she would be saving money from commuting and because Dr. Ken was part of her community.
