The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) established minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for workers in the United States. It set a federal minimum wage and mandated that eligible employees receive overtime pay at one and a half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Additionally, the FLSA aimed to eliminate oppressive child labor by regulating the employment of minors.
