Most workers in the United States are protected by several important federal laws, including the Fair Labor Standard Act, or FLSA. The FLSA is where the federal minimum wage can be found as well as the overtime wage requirements that apply to many employees. The FLSA essentially requires a covered employer to pay all non-exempt workers overtime wages at the rate of one and one-half the employees regular wage for all time worked beyond 40 hours in a workweek. If an exemption applies, however, the employer is relieved of the overtime wage requirement.
