It covers both full-time and part-time employees, and applies to most private and public employers. The FLEA sets the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, requires employers to pay time-and-a-half for overtime work, and prohibits employers from employing minors in hazardous occupations. The FLEA also provides protections for workers in the form of minimum wage, overtime pay, and record keeping requirements. The FLEA is divided into two parts: the Wage and Hour Division (WHO) and the Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking (OCT). The WHO is responsible for enforcing the minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and other labor standards. The OCT is responsible for enforcing child labor laws, including prohibiting the employment of minors in hazardous occupations. The FLEA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Employers who violate the FLEA may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including back pay, liquidated damages, and criminal fines.
