Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) as amended (29 USC §201 et seq.; 29 CFR Parts 510 to 795)Revised on April 20, 2004
The FLSA establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments.
Covered nonexempt workers are entitled to the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage effective July 24, 2009 is $7.25 per hour.
Overtime pay at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay is required after 40 hours of work in a workweek.

Willful violators may be prosecuted criminally and fined up to $10,000. A second conviction may result in imprisonment. Employers who willfully or repeatedly violate the minimum wage or overtime pay requirements are subject to civil money penalties of up to $1,100 per violation.
