The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was passed by the United States Congress in 1938 to establish a minimum wage, overtime compensation standards, record keeping requirements, child labor provisions, and other regulations that affect employers and labor. The provisions of the FLSA cover all employees, including full-time, part-time, permanent and temporary employees in the state personnel system.

The documents below are meant as a general guide, applicable to state employees only. If you are looking for general information about FLSA, please go to the U.S. Department of Labor Web site.
