Understanding the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA):

The FLSA, enacted in 1938, remains a pillar of U.S. labor law. It establishes crucial standards for issues such as minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor, and recordkeeping. The primary goal of the FLSA is to ensure fair compensation and working conditions for employees while providing a level playing field for employers.

Key Provisions of the FLSA:

Minimum Wage: The FLSA sets a federal minimum wage that employers must pay to nonexempt employees, with certain exceptions based on age and specific job duties.

Overtime Pay: The FLSA mandates that nonexempt employees receive overtime pay of at least one and a half times their regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Child Labor: The FLSA enforces restrictions on the types of work and hours minors can perform to ensure their safety and well-being.

Recordkeeping: Employers are required to maintain accurate records of hours worked, wages paid, and other relevant information to demonstrate compliance with the law.
