Frequently Asked Questions

Wage and hour compliance means following laws that regulate pay and working time. These laws govern minimum wage, overtime, and recordkeeping requirements. Compliance ensures employees are paid correctly for all hours worked.
The Fair Labor Standards Act governs wage and hour rules in the United States. It establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor standards. State laws may provide additional protections.
Minimum wage is the lowest hourly pay rate employers may legally pay workers. Federal law sets a national minimum wage rate. Many states and localities set higher rates that employers must follow.
Overtime pay is additional compensation for hours worked beyond a set limit. Under federal law, eligible employees receive one and one-half times their regular pay rate. Overtime applies after 40 hours worked in a workweek.
Most non-exempt employees qualify for overtime pay. Eligibility depends on job duties and salary thresholds. Employers must classify workers correctly to determine eligibility.
Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay under federal law. Non-exempt employees must receive overtime for qualifying hours worked. Classification depends on salary level and job duties.
Employers must maintain records of hours worked and wages paid. They must also keep payroll data and employee classification information. Accurate records help demonstrate compliance during audits or disputes.
Federal law does not require meal or rest breaks. Many states require meal or rest periods based on hours worked. Employers must follow the laws in the states where employees work.
Employees cannot waive their right to overtime pay under federal law. Employers must pay overtime when required. Agreements to forgo overtime pay are not legally valid.
Common violations include unpaid overtime and improper employee classification. Other violations include off-the-clock work and inaccurate time records. Failure to follow break laws where required is also common.
