You have requested information regarding the following Poster(s):
The poster is required under the following law(s):
The FLSA establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth
employment standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private
sector and in federal, state, and local governments. The FLSA requires employers
to pay covered nonexempt employees a minimum wage of not less than $5.85 per hour
effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per
hour effective July 24, 2009. For more information see the
Wage and Hour Basic
Information Fact Sheet.
An employee may be covered by the FLSA in two ways: "enterprise coverage"
and "individual coverage." For more detail on FLSA coverage, see
Wage and Hour Division Fact Sheet #14: Coverage Under the Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA)
Special rules apply to
state and local government employment involving
fire
protection and law enforcement activities, volunteer services, and
compensatory time off instead of cash overtime pay.
Some employees are
exempt from overtime pay or both the minimum wage and overtime
pay. Because exemptions are generally narrowly defined under the FLSA, an
employer should carefully check the exact terms and conditions for each.
Detailed information is available from the
local Wage and Hour Division office.
The
Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor administers and
enforces the FLSA with respect to private employment, state and local government
employment, and federal employees of the Library of Congress, U.S. Postal
Service, Postal Rate Commission, and Tennessee Valley Authority. The
U.S. Office of Personnel Management administers the provisions of the
FLSA with respect to any person employed by a Federal agency.
Every employer of employees subject to the FLSA’s minimum wage provisions must post, and keep posted,
a notice explaining
the Act in a conspicuous place in all of their establishments. Although there is
no size requirement for the poster, employees must be able to readily read it. The FLSA poster is
also available in
Spanish,
Russian and in
Chinese.
There is no requirement to post the poster in languages
other than English.
Covered employers are required to post the general Fair Labor Standard's Act
poster; however, certain industries have posters
designed specifically for them.
Agricultural Employees (PDF) and
State & Local Government Employees (PDF) can either post the general
Fair Labor Standards Act poster or their specific industry poster. There
are also posters for
American Samoa (PDF) and
Northern Mariana Islands (PDF). Every employer who employs workers with
disabilities under special minimum wage certificates is also required to post the
Employee Rights for Workers with Disabilities/Special Minimum Wage Poster.
