The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a crucial federal law enacted in 1938 to protect workers' rights in the United States. It establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full-time and part-time workers. The FLSA ensures fair compensation for all employees by mandating time-and-a-half pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek and setting the national minimum wage. It also sets restrictions on the employment of minors to ensure their health and well-being.
