Jaime Hernandez, et al. v. CRSC, LLC

New Orleans, Louisiana employment law lawyer represented Plaintiffs who sued Defendant on Fair Labor Standards Act violation theories.



CRSC is a disaster recovery company.



The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that sets 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 was enacted in 1938 and has been amended several times since then. The most recent amendments were made in 2009.



The FLSA applies to most employees in the United States, but there are some exceptions. For example, the FLSA does not apply to:



Employees of certain small businesses.

Employees who are paid on a commission basis.

Employees who are exempt from the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements.



The FLSA requires employers to pay their employees at least the federal minimum wage. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. However, some states have set their own minimum wage, which may be higher than the federal minimum wage.



The FLSA also requires employers to pay their employees overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.



The FLSA requires employers to keep accurate records of their employees' hours worked, wages paid, and other relevant information. This information must be kept for at least three years.



The FLSA prohibits employers from employing children under the age of 14 in most jobs. Children under the age of 16 are also prohibited from working in certain hazardous jobs.



The FLSA provides a number of important protections for workers, including:



A minimum wage

Overtime pay

Accurate recordkeeping

Child labor restrictions
