Rockville, Maryland, Employment Law AttorneyMaryland attorney should advise that the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. 201 et seq. ("FLSA"), establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping and child labor standards for nearly all full- and part-time workers in the United States. Employers also must comply with any state laws dealing with days of rest, equal pay, minimum wage and child labor provided that such laws are more favorable to employees than the FLSA. Under the FLSA, covered (nonexempt) employees must receive at least minimum wage for all hours worked during a workweek, and also must be paid overtime compensation (equal to no less than one and one-half their regular rate of pay) for all work hours in excess of 40 each workweek. The FLSA does not mandate any particular form of timekeeping for employee work hours provided that the records accurately reflect the time worked. Failure to keep accurate time records or certain personal data on employees is a violation of the FLSA. Such omissions can also expose an employer to significant liability from terminated or disgruntled employees. For more information, contact an employment lawyer at Farber Legal.
