Fair Labor Standards Act
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is the federal law that requires covered employers to pay nonexempt employees at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime compensation for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. To comply with the FLSA’s requirements, therefore, an employer must determine what time constitutes “hours worked.” You can review the general presentation. Also available is the memorandum for the exclusion of sleep time. The Residential Care Facilities under the FLSA is available for review.
