Fair
Labor Standard Act (FLSA) - Congress enacted in 1938 the
Fair Labor Standards Act to eradicate unfair labor practices, disputes,
and conditions. Since that time, the FLSA has been amended
to include the Equal Pay Act, Portal-to-Portal Act, Child Labor,
and many other changes.
Exempt
Status- The Fair Labor Standards Act allows employers
to exempt employees from federal and state overtime requirements.
An employee is exempt if determined to be an executive, an administrative
or professional employee, a computer specialist, or an outside sales
representative, or other as defined by the Fair Labor Standards
Act. Any classification (Faculty, CSA, and NFE) may be exempt
if the position meets the FLSA criteria.
Nonexempt Status-
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that all employees that are
not exempt be entitled to overtime pay (compensatory time off - public
employers) of at least one-and-one-half times (1 ½) his/her
regular rate for hours worked in excess of 40 in any workweek.
