Fair Labour Standards Act | Vibepedia

The Fair Labour Standards Act (FLSA) is a foundational US labour law. It mandates a minimum wage, overtime pay for work exceeding 40 hours a week, and prohibits oppressive child labour. The FLSA applies to a broad range of employees, unless specific exemptions are met. With its enactment, the FLSA has significantly impacted labour rights, influencing similar legislation globally. Today, it remains a crucial component of US labour law, with ongoing debates and updates to its provisions.
