Understanding the Fair Labor Standards Act

The video tutorial explains the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), a federal statute that protects employees by setting minimum wage standards and regulating hours worked. Administered by the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor, the FLSA ensures employees are not paid unfairly low wages. It establishes a federal minimum wage of $7.25, which overrides lower state wages. The Act also includes regulations on employment relationships, exemptions for certain employees, and age standards for legal work, with exceptions for family businesses.
