Wage and Hour Regulations

Wage and Hour Regulations are laws that govern how workers are paid and the hours they work. These regulations ensure employees receive at least the minimum wage and are compensated for overtime—typically time and a half for hours worked beyond 40 in a week. They also set guidelines for record-keeping and provide protections against unfair labor practices. Essentially, these regulations aim to protect workers' rights regarding fair pay and working conditions, ensuring that employees are treated fairly by their employers.
