HR & Compliance, 10 minutes, self-paced
Wage and Hour Guidelines
The Fair Labor Standards Act and comparable state laws set the standards for minimum wage, overtime, meal and rest periods, recordkeeping, and the employment of minors. This course covers what non-exempt employees must do when recording their time, the conduct that breaks pay rules, the tasks and sales restricted to workers eighteen and older, and how to report a violation, and it points you to your HR representative for the requirements specific to your organization and location.
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
