The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that all covered, nonexempt employees be paid at least the minimum wage for all hours worked.
FLSA also provides that covered, nonexempt employees who work more than 40 hours in the work week must receive at least one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for the overtime hours (hours worked over 40 in a work week).
A work week, which can begin on any day of the week, is seven consecutive 24-hour periods or 168 consecutive hours.
A covered, nonexempt employee must be paid for all hours worked.
