The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a Federal Labor Law that:
  • Establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, equal pay, record keeping, and child labor standards for employees


  • Establishes the requirements for determining the exemption status of a position


  • Provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees classified as "exempt"
The exemption status of a position is determined by the University’s Compensation Department and is done so in accordance with criteria established by the Fair Labor Standards Act.

For more information on the FLSA, visit the Department of Labor website.
