Payroll And Wage & Hour Laws, Regulations, and RequirementsThe Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) prescribes standards for wages and overtime pay, which affect most private and public employment.
The act is administered by the Wage and Hour Division and requires employers to pay covered employees who are not otherwise exempt at least the federal minimum wage and overtime pay of one-and-one-half-times the regular rate of pay.
Who Is Covered
While the minimum wage applies to most workers, exemptions apply to individuals in "exempt" positions such as certain executives, administrative and professional employees, as well as other groups, such as tipped employees and child labor.
Penalties
The Wage and Hour Division enforces the labor standards provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that apply to aliens authorized to work in the U.S. under certain non-immigrant visa programs (H-1B, H-1B1, H-1C, H2A).
