Editor's Note: Former § 605.170,

Prevailing minimum wage x 40 hours

total wages reported on Form W-3 (reconciliation of income tax withheld

S. Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service Form and shall serve as the basis for total wages paid all employees (as defined in Section 605.020 of this Chapter) in determining the average number of employees paid by said business or manufacturer unless the applicant or licensee can prove to the satisfaction of the Finance Department that a fewer number of employees were paid.
