Court: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Fairfax County)

Plaintiff's Attorney:

Defendant's Attorney: Kevin Francis DeTurris

Description: Alexandria, Virginia employment law lawyers represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a Fair Labor Standards Act violation theory.

"The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that 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.

The FLSA was enacted in 1938 to protect workers from exploitation. The law sets a minimum wage, requires overtime pay for work over 40 hours in a week, and regulates child labor. The FLSA also requires employers to keep records of their employees' wages and hours worked.

The FLSA applies to most employees in the United States. There are a few exceptions, such as agricultural workers, domestic workers, and employees of certain small businesses.

The FLSA is enforced by the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor. The WHD investigates complaints of FLSA violations and can impose civil penalties on employers who violate the law.

If you believe that your employer is violating the FLSA, you can file a complaint with the WHD. You can also contact the WHD for more information about the FLSA.

Here are some of the key provisions of the FLSA:

Minimum wage: The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. However, many states have higher minimum wages.
Overtime pay: Employees who work more than 40 hours in a week are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly rate.
Recordkeeping: Employers are required to keep records of their employees' wages and hours worked.
Child labor: The FLSA regulates the employment of minors. There are age and hour restrictions on when and how minors can be employed.

The FLSA is an important law that protects workers' rights. If you believe that your employer is violating the FLSA, you should contact the WHD for more information."
