The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is a federal labor law. It contains minimum wage provisions, Equal Pay Act, child labor restrictions, and a variety of other federal labor and employment law sections.

A key provision of the Act is overtime compensation. The U.S. Department of Labor passed several changes to the FLSA regulations that will go into effect on January 1, 2025. It’s important to be aware of these changes and be prepared to take appropriate action to ensure compliance. However, keep in mind that it may be overturned, threshold amount may be changed, or effective date may be postponed. HR will follow the case closely and provide you with regular updates.
