Background
The Fair Labor Standards Administration (FLSA) requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the Federal minimum wage and overtime pay at time and one-half the regular rate of pay after 40 hours in a workweek. In addition, the law includes child labor and record keeping provisions. However, the Act provides some specific exemptions from these requirements for employees employed by certain establishments and in certain occupations.

Some State wage laws may not recognize or permit the application of this exemption, and since an employer must comply with the most stringent of the State or Federal provisions, it is strongly recommended that the State laws be reviewed prior to applying this exemption.
