FLSA Lawyers - Fair Labor Standards Act Attorneys & Lawsuits

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was created by the UnitedStates government in 1938. This act was set to protect therights of workers and encourage 'fair play' between themanagement and labor. This act established a national minimumwage, created overtime pay and installed regulations for minorsin the workplace. Because of the diverse nature of the Americanworkforce, there is special consideration given to variousgroups such as children working on farms. Selected terms weregiven for people in executive and administrative positions aswell as thousands of other special cases who are able to claimexemptions to FLSA regulations.

In August 2004 the most important change to FLSA came about.Lawmakers decided to amend the document and clearly establishwhich jobs are exempt from overtime and which jobs are not. As aresult, millions of Americans who were once eligible forovertime pay had now been 'reclassified' into administrative,professional



and executive categories which disqualified themfor their overtime pay.
