According to the United States Department of Labor, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) "establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments."
First implemented in 1938 to establish overtime pay and set an ever-changing minimum wage, among other standards, the FLSA is designed to support workers in both the private and public sectors. Working under this law, employees are urged to report violations that can range from employers refusing to pay less than minimum wage, inaccurately recording hours worked, and even withholding overtime pay.
