Elements of the Fair Labor Standard Act

The Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) encompasses several laws such as the following:

  • Minimum wage. While the federal minimum wage is set at $7.25 per hour, Ohio, like most other states, also has minimum wage laws. It is currently at $10.10 per hour. In these situations, the employee is entitled to the higher minimum wage.
  • FLSA overtime. Nonexempt employees are required to receive overtime if they work more than 40 hours per workweek. Any hours over 40 must be paid at a rate of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. So, if a person’s regular pay rate is $20 per hour, they must be paid $30 an hour for overtime. There is no limit on the number of hours an employee over the age of 16 years or older may work in any workweek.
  • Hours worked. Hours worked include all the time in which an employee is required to be on duty, on the employer’s premises, or at a prescribed workplace. An employer cannot require a worker to show up early and not get paid for this time.
  • Accurate and regular recordkeeping is essential for Ohio employers. They must keep employee time and pay records as well as display an official poster outlining the requirements of the FLSA.
  • Child labor. There are laws in place to keep children safe and out of dangerous workplaces. Under the FLSA, children are prohibited from working in conditions that are detrimental to their health or well-being.
