Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that was adopted in 1938. Employees covered by FLSA are subject to an hourly wage and receipt of overtime, generally after 40 hours per week, unless the position meets specific exemption criteria outlined below. The FLSA does not provide a limit on the number of hours employees ages 16 and older may work in any workweek, however all applicable child labor laws for employees under the age of 18 are posted and followed.
