THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT (FLSA)
WHAT IT COVERS
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) outlines fundamental labor standards in the United States. It establishes the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour, and mandates overtime pay for non-exempt employees working beyond 40 hours in a workweek. FLSA also regulates child labor, prohibiting certain hazardous occupations for minors. The act emphasizes accurate recordkeeping of employees' work hours and wages. Additionally, it classifies employees as exempt or non-exempt, determining eligibility for overtime pay. FLSA's comprehensive provisions aim to ensure fair compensation, reasonable working hours, and protect the rights of workers across various industries, forming the backbone of wage and hour regulations.
WHO IT COVERS
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) broadly covers most private and public sector employees in the United States. It applies to full-time and part-time workers, as well as those in both white-collar and blue-collar positions. However, certain exemptions exist, such as for certain salaried employees, independent contractors, and specific professions. Understanding the nuances of FLSA is essential for employers and employees alike to navigate the regulations and ensure compliance with fair labor standards.
AVAILABLE REMEDIES
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides remedies to address violations and ensure just compensation for employees. Remedies may include back pay, which compensates for unpaid wages, and liquidated damages, doubling the amount owed in cases of willful violations. Additionally, injunctive relief can be sought to halt ongoing violations, and employees may pursue legal action to recover attorney's fees and court costs. FLSA aims to empower workers by offering a range of remedies that reinforce the importance of fair labor practices and hold employers accountable for compliance with the established standards.
-
STATE LAW WAGE & HOUR PROTECTIONS
State law wage and hour protections complement the federal regulations outlined in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Each state may have its own set of labor laws governing minimum wage, overtime pay, and other workplace standards. Understanding these state-specific provisions is crucial, as they can often provide additional safeguards for workers.
State laws may address nuances not covered by the FLSA, ensuring that employees receive fair compensation and enjoy appropriate working conditions within the context of local regulations. Navigating the intersection of federal and state wage and hour laws is essential for both employers and employees seeking comprehensive understanding and compliance.
-
COLLECTIVE ACTIONS
Collective actions play a significant role in addressing wage and hour issues on a broader scale. These actions typically involve a group of employees with similar claims against an employer, consolidating their cases into a single legal proceeding. Collective actions, often associated with class action lawsuits, empower workers to collectively challenge practices such as unpaid overtime or minimum wage violations.
This collaborative approach not only amplifies the impact of individual claims but also fosters a sense of solidarity among affected employees. Engaging in a collective action can be a strategic and efficient means of pursuing justice and holding employers accountable for systemic wage and hour infractions.
-
CLASS ACTIONS
Class actions are a legal mechanism that allows a group of individuals facing similar grievances, such as wage and hour violations, to collectively pursue a lawsuit against a common employer. In the context of wage and hour cases, class actions enable employees to address widespread issues like unpaid overtime or discriminatory pay practices as a unified front.
This approach streamlines legal proceedings and ensures that a resolution applies uniformly to all class members. Class actions can be a powerful tool for seeking justice, promoting fairness in the workplace, and holding employers accountable for systemic violations of wage and hour laws.
-
LEGAL PROCESS OF CLASS ACTIONS
Class actions follow a structured legal process. It typically starts with the filing of a complaint by one or more "representative plaintiffs" on behalf of the entire class. The court then determines whether the case qualifies for class action status. If approved, the lawsuit proceeds, and class members are notified. The process can culminate in a settlement, trial, or dismissal.
-
BENEFITS OF JOINING A CLASS ACTION
There are several advantages to joining a class action. First, it spreads the costs and legal fees among all participants, reducing the financial burden on individual plaintiffs. Second, it consolidates the claims, strengthening the negotiating position with the defendant. Additionally, it ensures that even those with smaller claims have a voice in the legal process.

COMMON WAGE & HOUR VIOLATIONS
MISCLASSIFICATION VIOLATIONS
Misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime when they are non-exempt or as independent contractors instead of employees can lead to wage and hour violations. It's essential to accurately classify workers to ensure they receive the appropriate compensation and benefits.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR VIOLATIONS
Improperly classifying workers as independent contractors can result in wage and hour violations. If individuals have the characteristics of employees, they should be treated as such, with proper wages, overtime pay, and other benefits.
OVERTIME VIOLATIONS
Failing to pay eligible employees overtime for hours worked beyond the standard 40 in a workweek is a common violation. Understanding and adhering to overtime regulations are crucial to avoid legal repercussions.
MINIMUM WAGE VIOLATIONS
Paying employees less than the federal or state-mandated minimum wage is a fundamental violation. Employers must stay informed about current minimum wage rates and ensure compliance to uphold fair compensation standards.
OFF THE CLOCK VIOLATIONS
Expecting or allowing employees to work off the clock, whether it's before or after their scheduled hours, can lead to wage and hour violations. All time worked should be accurately recorded and compensated.
REGULAR RATE VIOLATIONS
Calculating overtime pay based on an incorrect regular rate can result in violations. Employers should include all forms of compensation when determining the regular rate to ensure accurate overtime payment.
DAY RATE PAY VIOLATIONS
While day rate pay is permissible in certain situations, it can lead to violations if it doesn't comply with overtime regulations. Understanding when day rate pay is appropriate and ensuring compliance is crucial to avoid legal issues.
