Expert Solution
Step 1

For employees in the private sector, as well as federal, state, and local governments, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) oversees minimum pay, overtime compensation, recordkeeping, and youth employment. Nonexempt employees who are covered have been entitled to a $7.25 per hour minimum wage since July 24, 2009. Overtime pay of at least one and a half times the regular wage is required after 40 hours of work in a workweek.
