Ruling: Beit din’s policy (we omit details here) is that the nation’s labor laws, including minimum wage requirements, are halachically binding. Since def received monthly 2,000 NIS as an intern and even as a regular worker, 3,500 NIS, which are under the minimum wage for a full-time worker (43 hours a week), we must determine how much pl worked.

The pay stubs refer to 93 monthly hours, approximately half of full-time hours. While def did not regularly give pl the pay stubs, they were generated as a formal document, and pl received them whenever he requested them. In general, we assume that official documents, such as this, are not falsified until it is proven otherwise (see Rashba, Bava Batra 171a). The pay stub is also correct regarding the amount received. Also, the witnesses who held pl’s position all said that they did part-time work. While this is not a proof that this was the situation for pl, it does strengthen that possibility.
To prove that he put in full-time work, pl presented 222 emails that he sent from work (he did not have email at home) during afternoons and 218 legal documents spanning 826 pages he produced. However, this is not proof of full-time work, as the number of emails comes just to about one a week and the legal documents were for the most part, standard forms into which one just puts in basic client information. Pl also admitted that there were times when even during the morning, he worked on private portfolios.
The fact that pl worked for six years without complaining he was paid under minimum wage is significant. Although silence does not always indicate agreement, the fact that pl continued to act under these agreements (by coming to work – see Netivot Hamishpat 81:5), seems to indicate that the salary fit the actual number of hours.
Based on compromise that is close to judgment, we will credit pl with 28 hours weekly.

Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
