Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Federal labor law No definition The FLSA does not define full-time employment. It sets overtime rules (time-and-a-half after 40 hours in a workweek) but does not say how many hours make someone full-time. … The Fair Labor Standards Act is the primary federal law governing wages and hours. It establishes the federal minimum wage, requires overtime pay after 40 hours in a workweek, and sets rules for exempt versus non-exempt classification.The confusion about full-time hours exists because four separate standards address the topic: three federal frameworks and the workplace convention that grew out of one of them.

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Federal labor law No definition The FLSA does not define full-time employment. It sets overtime rules (time-and-a-half after 40 hours in a workweek) but does not say how many hours make someone full-time.

Affordable Care Act (ACA) Legal threshold for ALEs … ## What the FLSA Actually Says (and Does Not Say) The Fair Labor Standards Act is the primary federal law governing wages and hours. It establishes the federal minimum wage, requires overtime pay after 40 hours in a workweek, and sets rules for exempt versus non-exempt classification. What it does not do is define full-time or part-time employment. That gap follows from the law's scope. The FLSA regulates how employees are paid, not how they are classified. Its overtime rule (time-and-a-half after 40 hours) applies to every non-exempt employee, meaning anyone the law does not exempt from overtime, whether you classify them as full-time or part-time.
