STATUS CLASSIFICATION Exempt vs. Non-Exempt

 
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) was one of the earliest federal efforts to regulate the work environment and became effective on June 25, 1938. The FLSA is administered and enforced by the Wage and Hour Division of the Employment Standards Administration within the United States Department of Labor (“USDOL”). 29 U.S.C. § 204.

Among other things, the FLSA and many parallel state laws require the payment of a minimum wage for all hours worked. 29 U.S.C. § 206. The federal minimum is $7.25 per hour. Many states have requirements that exceed this level.
