2 Part 1 The Fair Labor Standards Act

3 What is the FLSA? FLSA stands for the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments. -Federal Department of Labor website Depending on their duties, employees are either: o Non-Exempt (the law applies to them) or o Exempt (Executive, Professional, Administrative, Computer, etc.).

4 What Does the FLSA Require? The FLSA holds that Non-Exempt employees are typically paid time-and-a-half if they work over 40 hours per week. Non-Exempt VPH employees are typically compensated with FLSA Comp time at the rate of 1.5 hours for each hour worked over 40 during a week. Overtime compensation is based on ACTUAL HOURS WORKED. Paid leave does not count toward hours worked. Holidays do not count toward hours worked.

The employee used no PTO and earned no comp time. ( = 40) Comp time: This week the employee worked 44 hours, and earned 6 hours of timeand-a-half comp time.

Because of the 8-hour VPH holiday, only 32 work hours were required. The employee earned 8 hours of strait-time comp time. (40 32 = 8 8 x 1 = 8) PTO/Holiday: This employee had requested 8 hours of PTO. This week the employee worked 30 hours. Because of the 8-hour VPH holiday, only 32 work hours were required, so the employee only used 2 hours of PTO and earned no comp time.

9 What Does the FLSA Require? At VPH scheduled overtime must be pre-approved by the supervisor. Non-Exempt employees must be compensated for overtime hours worked, whether or not the time has been approved. Non-exempt employees may face disciplinary action for working unapproved overtime. Supervisors should give Non-Exempt employees an uninterrupted lunch break away from their work station, or else pay the for their lunch time.

10 Common Timesheet Mistakes Earning time-and-a-half comp time in weeks with a holiday when they do not work more than 40 hours. Earning comp time in a week when they use less PTO than they requested. Working unauthorized overtime Not paying an employee for a lunch they work through Crediting comp time to exempt employees Keeping a negative leave balance/not docking an employee
