Fair Labor Standards Act Advisor

The Fair Labor Standards Act Amendments of 1989 include a "Preservation of Coverage" clause which applies to companies/organizations that were subject to the requirements of the FLSA prior to April 1, 1990, but have not reached the $500,000 annual dollar volume of sales or receipts for current enterprise coverage. This is commonly referred to as grandfather coverage.
