Yeah there are definitely off hours when employees still need to work. But I would guess that hourly employees earning minimum wage are almost never given vacation or sick time.

Why? Just because they make ~$12/hr? I have employees making $15/hr (lowest we pay) who have 2-4 weeks of PTO plus flex days, and I don't consider myself exceptionally generous.

Yes, if the employer is paying the minimum wage my guess is they are also paying for the minimum number of hours.
