The U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, has released a series of video clips to help employers understand their legal obligations. These videos are short, simple presentations intended for employers who want basic information about what the law requires.
The first set of videos includes presentations on the following topics:
- Topic 1: Coverage – Does the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) apply to my business?
- Topic 2: Minimum Wage – What minimum wage requirements apply to my business?
- Topic 3: Deductions – Can I charge my employees for uniforms or other business expenses?
- Topic 4: Hours Worked – Do I have to pay for that time?
- Topic 5: Overtime – When do I owe overtime compensation, and how do I pay it correctly?
