The national FLSA and employment lawyers at Phillips Dayes Law Firm have helped numerous employees achieve justice after they were illegally denied overtime pay or were subjected to unfair work conditions or practices. The Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, is enforced by the Wage and Hour Division of the federal Department of Labor and has been setting legal standards for employers and workers in the United States since it was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938. The FLSA establishes the federal minimum wage, overtime pay, youth employment, and record keeping standards, and it pertains to private sector employees who work part- or full-time, as well as individuals employed by the federal, state, or local governments. If you believe your rights as an employee under the FLSA have been infringed upon, an FLSA and employment attorney from our firm can offer you direction in a free legal consultation.
