Description:

Memphis, Tennessee employment law lawyer represented the Plaintiff not paid overtime in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Millennium Search is one of the largest employment agencies in the Memphis area with offices in Memphis and northern Mississippi. The company provides a diversified suite of services which include light industrial and professional services offerings.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that sets standards for wages, overtime, child labor, and recordkeeping for most private and public employees. The FLSA was passed by Congress in 1938 to improve working conditions.

Here are some of the FLSA's requirements:

Minimum wage: Covered employees must be paid at least the federal minimum wage.

Overtime pay: Covered employees must be paid one and a half times their regular rate of pay for overtime hours.
Child labor: Children under 16 are restricted from working certain hours in nonagricultural operations, and children under 18 are prohibited from working certain jobs.

Recordkeeping: Employers must keep records.

The FLSA is administered by the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor. The FLSA also provides civil and criminal remedies, and allows employees to file private lawsuits.

Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed.
