What is the FLSA?

 

A: The Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, was established to ensure minimum wage and labor laws. The FLSA was started in order to create fair standards surrounding minimum wage, overtime pay, record-keeping and child labor, and the FLSA helps protect the rights of employees in the U.S. working in the private sector, or for federal, state, and local governments, regardless of whether you are a full- or part-time employee.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, companies who must adhere to the regulations of the FLSA include all enterprises that:

• Engage in interstate commerce
• Produce goods for interstate commerce
• Handle, sell, or work on goods or materials that have been moved in or produced for interstate commerce
