Wage & Hour Laws: FLSA Compliance Requirements, Recent Updates, FAQs, etc.

Learn about updates to FLSA requirements, identify gaps, and ensure your organization complies with the current Wage and Hour laws.

Course Overview

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), commonly referred to as the Wage and Hour Act, was passed in 1938 and since then has been amended many times.

The major provisions of the FLSA are concerned with minimum wage rates and overtime payments, child labor, and equal rights. The US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, oversees federal labor laws.

Additionally, State DOLs administer state labor laws. Failure to comply with Wage and Hour laws may result in the employer paying the employee back wages, damages, penalties, attorney fees, and court costs, plus the prospect of civil and criminal penalties from federal and/or state governments. Therefore, Wage and Hour compliance is of the utmost importance.
