Employer Wage & Hour Basics (FLSA)

Every federal wage and hour rule an employer runs on, in plain English — what counts as hours worked, what overtime is owed, who is exempt, and what you must keep.

Anyone who decides what a worker is paid — small-business owners, office managers, payroll and HR staff — plus the employee who wants to check the answer. No legal background assumed.
