The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 established the federal minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in both the private and public sectors. The act mandates that most employees be paid overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly wage for all hours worked over 40 hours per week, but exempts some employees who meet strict criteria from receiving overtime pay, such as employees who have significant discretion in their job duties, such as executive, administrative, and professional employees.
