Based on your answers, you are not engaged on a regular and recurring basis in the production of goods for interstate commerce or in a job that is closely related and directly essential to such production.
Since coverage under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is determined on a workweek by workweek basis, you are covered under the FLSA on this basis only in the workweeks you are engaged in interstate commerce.
However, there are several other ways to be covered by the FLSA. You may be covered during workweeks in which you are engaged in interstate commerce, meet the definition of a domestic employee, or work on a covered construction job. Young workers may also be covered by the child labor provisions of the FLSA when they work in or about covered production establishments. You should also be aware that in certain instances we find that employees are jointly employed by more than one employer.
Remember that some employees are exempt from various provisions of the law. You may wish to explore the broad categories of these exemptions or to obtain further information about the FLSA, or learn more about employees under FLSA.
For more information, please contact your local Wage and Hour District Office.
