The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that covered non-exempt employees
receive at least the minimum wage and at least one and one-half times their
regular rates of pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. In general,
"hours worked" includes all time an employee must be on duty,
or on the employer's premises or at any other prescribed place of work.
Also included is any additional time the employee is allowed (i.e., suffered
or permitted) to work. The amount employees should receive under the FLSA
cannot be determined without knowing the number of hours worked. The materials
listed below provide general information concerning what constitutes compensable
time under the FLSA.
