FLSA
Wage and hour
FLSA is the Fair Labor Standards Act, the federal law governing wages and hours in the United States.
It establishes minimum wage, overtime pay requirements, and child labor protections.
HR departments and employment lawyers reference it constantly: The employee filed an FLSA claim for unpaid overtime.
Most American workers are covered, though certain categories are exempt.
