This guide provides general information on the exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay provided by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek.
The FLSA also provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional and outside sales employees, as well as certain computer employees.
