BULE 303 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Blue-Collar Worker, Layoff
Document Summary
Working times and hours are not restricted for persons between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, but they cannot be employed in hazardous jobs or in jobs detrimental to their health and well-being. None of these restrictions apply to individuals over the age of eighteen: minimum wage requirements. In 2010, flsa minimum wage is . 25/hour in covered industries. Employers in food or lodging industries can deduct reasonable cost of those services from wages. The flsa provides that a minimum wage of . 25 per hour must be paid to employees in covered industries (by the time you read this text, the minimum wage may be higher as president barack obama has proposed). Under the flsa, employees who work more than forty hours per week normally must be paid 1. 5 times their regular pay for all hours over forty. Flsa overtime provisions apply only after an employee has worked more than forty hours per week.
