Fair Labor Standards Act
← Turbulence | Trust and Power: The Darfur conflict → |
For any employee to qualify for the benefits in FLSA the position must fulfill the criteria in the regulation, i.e. the salary and duties must be fulfilled. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that employees receive overtime payment at a rate of 1.5 times to the regular remuneration for all the time worked above 40 hours in a week made of seven days. This law gives the minimum standards that may be inferred and they are not subject to reduction (Grossman, 1978). However those who are salaried above $445 a week then they are not entitled to overtime if their jobs meet certain description.
The employer is also mandated to abide by other state, federal or municipal laws, ordinances, collective bargaining agreements, regulations or employer policies that may give better benefits that those provided in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA - Overtime Eligibility & Exemption, 2007). The act also applies to Blue collar employees who are entitled to overtime in spite of their salary; these people include police officers, deputy sheriffs, detectives, highway patrol officers, state troopers, investigators, correctional officers, inspectors, parole or probation officers, fire fighters, park rangers, paramedics, ambulance personnel, rescue workers, emergency medical technicians, hazardous materials workers among others offering crucial services.
Three requirements must be fulfilled for any position to be exempted from the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime payment details; these include, firstly the salary must be paid on a fixed salary and not based on hour (this is except for computer technicians), this amount may be paid per week but most important is that it doesn’t base the payments on hours. Secondly, the payment must be above $445 every week despite of the hours worked; an example for this would be a halftime worker being paid a sum of $457 every week and a fulltime worker being paid $457 every week then they will both be covered in the act (FLSA - Overtime Eligibility & Exemption, 2007).
Thirdly, every position to be evaluated for the exemptions must qualify for the duties tests for the categories of executive exemption, administrative exemption, learned or creative profession exemption, computer professional exemption, highly compensated employees, and outside sales exemption. Other tests taken include the salary level tests and salary basis tests.
For executive exemptions the worker primary duties must involve managing the firm, must be involved in directing of more than two full time workers, and must have the authority to recruit or fire workers or give advice to the hiring and firing committee (Mettler, 1994). For administrative exemption the worker must perform office work related to management, or enterprise operations which is not manual, and the worker must work in discretion and independence in judgment with regard to all confidential matters.
Learned or creative profession exemption needs the worker to have advanced knowledge in related field of work which must be through specialized training and a wealth of experience. For computer professionals then the individual must be a computer systems analyst, software engineer, or computer programmer with a wealth of skills and experience in the field of computers and be able to execute his duties appropriately (FLSA - Overtime Eligibility & Exemption, 2007). Highly compensated employees must regularly be involved in at least one or more of the duties of an executive, administrator, or learned creative worker.
For an outside sales exemption the worker must be involved in the sales of the enterprise legally and must be paid by the clients, they must also be directly linked to the employer workplace customarily or regularly (FLSA - Overtime Eligibility & Exemption, 2007). All these exemption must have first met the basic requirement of earnings of not less than $445 every week for exemptions from overtime requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act to apply.

My writer revealed to me that when he isn’t working for you, he is teaching at a major university. He also told me that a lot of the other writers who work for you are professors. That is impressive! No wonder I got an A+ on my paper! |

Thank you for doing such stellar work on my paper. How anyone could write a paper this well on a subject this boring, is beyond me. When I tried to write it myself, I thought it would have put my professor to sleep! Your writers made it sound so interesting! I really appreciate that. Thanks a million! |

I ordered two papers from you at once. Both of them had strict deadlines and not that much time left. Your writers managed to get both papers to me on time, and both of them received high marks. I am so happy about this! |

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |

Given the short amount of time I gave your writers to create my term paper, I was amazed by how good it was when I received it back! It appeared they had spent months writing it, rather than just one week. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com! I enjoyed doing business with you. You are a fabulous writing company. |

Thanks goes out to the writer who filled my order. He did everything right the first time around. I had to ask for one tiny revision, but that was my own fault for leaving it out of the directions. |

I accidentally read the wrong chapters for my history assignment. Therefore, when it came down to the wire and I needed to hand in my history paper, I had to reach out for help very quickly. Your writers were able to put something together for me so fast! I couldn’t believe it! I handed the paper in and got a very high score on it. I was stunned! Thank you so much for your help! |

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |

Your writing service is different from other writing services. Yours is the only one I have ever dealt with that I can truthfully say is legitimate. The staff is very professional. The writers are the best in the business. I am pleased with the results of my last three orders and plan to return for more soon. |

Your writer did a great job on my history paper. I didn’t have to lift a finger, yet I received an A+. I read the paper and felt like I learned an entire semester’s worth of information. That’s how good it was! |

I had a question about the pricing. As I glanced through the EssaysEmpire.com website, I noticed that they were offering a lot for not all that much money. I spoke to a customer service person and she told me that the prices I saw on the website were accurate. Therefore, I ordered my first paper, not expecting all that much. What I got back was a brilliantly written essay that earned an A+ mark! Wow! I am impressed! |
