The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), commonly referred to as the Wage and Hour Act, is considered to be an employee protection act. This Act was passed in 1938. Since then, the FLSA has been amended many times. The major provisions of the Act are concerned with Federal minimum wage rates, overtime payments, child labor, equal pay, and recordkeeping. The US Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division, oversees Federal labor laws. Additionally, State DOLs administer state labor laws.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive understanding of the provisions of the FLSA. You will learn how to properly calculate overtime pay and become familiar with the 3 tests used to determine FLSA exemptions. Participants will gain an understanding of what constitutes hours worked, what to do when state and federal laws differ, how final pay checks need to be handled, and when employees must be compensated for training, travel time, meal breaks, and on-call status. Terminology used throughout the Act will be explained. Additionally, each of the FLSA exemptions will be discussed in detail.
