U.S. Department of Labor
Fair Labor Standards Act Advisor
You’re probably covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) since you work in one of the enterprises named in the law. However, some employees are exempt from various provisions of the law.
To explore the broad categories of these exemptions or to obtain other information about the law, click the FLSA Advisor link below.
Remember that the FLSA applies to employees. If income taxes are deducted from your pay and you receive a W-2 tax statement from your employer at the end of the year, you’re probably an employee. If your employer does not consider you an employee or you aren’t certain you’re an employee, explore “Am I an employee?”
For more information, please contact your local Wage and Hour District Office.
