Fair Labor Standards Act

Fair Labor Standards Act

Fair Labor Standards Act

In evaluating a claim arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the starting point is determining whether the employer and employee are covered under the Act. An employee may be covered if the employee is engaged in interested commerce or I the employer is an enterprise affecting commerce.

The Department of Labor has determined that businesses with gross revenue less than $500,000 do not affect commerce and, with a few exceptions, are exempt under the Act.
