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.

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! |

Thank you so much! I was assigned a paper that I found impossible to write. I did the reading. I did the research. However, regardless of my weak attempts, I could not formulate a cogent paper. I needed help, and EssaysEmpire.com’s writers were there for me. Customer service even arranged for me to speak with the person who was working on my paper personally. I had a lot of concerns, because my professor was very picky. However, EssaysEmpire.com was able to handle the order with no problem |

One of the things that I appreciate most about EssaysEmpire.com, is that they don’t resell your paper. Only you own it, if you hire them to write something. Other writing services that I have used, just circulate the same paper over and over, and if you get caught turning one in, too bad. You are expelled. EssaysEmpire.com will even give you a plagiarism report after they run it through their anti-plagiarism check. Such details set EssaysEmpire.com above the rest. |

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

I am 100% satisfied with the writer that you assigned to my project. This person understood exactly what I needed, even though I’m not the best communicator and the instructions were tedious and difficult. I felt certain I would have to send my paper back for a number of revisions, but I didn’t. The writer was able to convey exactly what I wished to express and he did it in record time!Thanks for everything. EssaysEmpire.com is the greatest! |

The paper that your writers did for me on the topic of, The Psychological Effects of Fluorescent Lighting in the Workplace,” was right on the money! They included my long list of customizations and did not charge extra for them. The formatting was just right. There were no grammatical errors. The length was what it was supposed to be. I am so happy that I chose to let the EssaysEmpire.com writers take care of my paper for me. I will choose this writing service again without hesitation. |

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. |
