Graig St. John v. AL Studio, LLC

New York City, New York employment lawyers represented Plaintiff who sued Defendants on Fair Labor Standards Act violation theories.



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 applies to all employers who employ at least two employees in the United States. The FLSA does not cover some types of employees, such as:



Employees of state and local governments

Employees of religious organizations

Employees of agricultural employers

Employees of domestic service employers

Employees of casual babysitters



The FLSA sets a minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for most employees. The minimum wage is higher in some states. For example, the minimum wage in California is $15 per hour.



The FLSA requires employers to pay overtime pay to employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime pay is equal to one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay.



The FLSA requires employers to keep records of the hours their employees work. This includes the employee's name, job title, hours worked, and rate of pay.



The FLSA prohibits the employment of minors in "oppressive child labor". This means that minors cannot be employed in jobs that are hazardous or that interfere with their education.



If you believe that your employer is violating the FLSA, you can file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor. The Wage and Hour Division will investigate your complaint and take action if it finds that your employer is violating the law.



Here are some additional information about the FLSA:



The FLSA was enacted in 1938 to protect workers from unfair labor practices.

The FLSA has been amended several times since it was enacted.

The FLSA is enforced by the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor.

If you believe that your employer is violating the FLSA, you can file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division.



If you have any questions about the FLSA, you should contact an attorney.
