Fair Labor Standards Act Compliance

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a U.S. law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards. It ensures workers are paid fairly for their time, especially for hours worked over 40 in a week, which usually requires overtime pay at a higher rate. Employers must also keep accurate records of hours worked and wages paid. Compliance with the FLSA is essential for protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair labor practices in the workplace. Violations can lead to legal consequences for employers.
