• Overtime compensation

• Minimum wage

• Child labor

Critical overtime-related issues under the FLSA include:

• Determining which employees are exempt from overtime

• Avoiding actions that might cause the loss of overtime exemptions

• Determining when non-work activities such as travel and being on call must be counted as hours worked for overtime purposes

• Determining the correct rate of pay for calculation of overtime premium where pay varies due to factors such as payment of bonuses, commissions, or piece rates.

Several other federal laws, the Service Contract Act, the Davis Bacon Act, and the Walsh Healey Act, establish minimum wage and benefit standards for employees performing work under federal contracts.

There are also state prevailing wage laws establishing minimum wage and benefit standards for employees performing work under state contracts.

The attorneys of Harris Dowell Fisher & Harris, L.C. assist clients in complying with these laws, and responding to agency investigations and defending litigation concerning them.
