The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the 80-year old federal employment law that requires employers to pay “nonexempt” employees a minimum hourly wage and an overtime premium for any hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek, also contains numerous recordkeeping and notice requirements, which can vary depending on an employee’s status or under certain defined circumstances.
During a compliance audit conducted by the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division (DOL-WHD), which enforces the FLSA, a compliance officer is likely to assess whether the employer is meeting its recordkeeping and notice obligations.
Accordingly, NT Lakis attorneys have prepared a primer on the FLSA’s recordkeeping and notice requirements to assist employers in meeting their compliance requirements. Please keep in mind that our primer is designed to provide only general information and is not intended to provide legal advice. Specific issues regarding compliance with FLSA requirements should be referred to counsel.
