Fair Labor Standards Act: FLSA for Managers

The Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, was originally passed in 1938 and is enforced by the United States Department of Labor. The act establishes standards affecting employees in the private and government sectors regarding minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment. In this program, we’ll go over what these laws mean to you, as a manager. We’ll discuss who is covered by FLSA and how the act affects wages and overtime pay. We’ll also go over youth employment under the law, as well as FLSA recordkeeping requirements.
