Course Description

Wage and hour laws have been in place for some time now; however, changes to existing laws and new laws do occur. This course provides an overview of the wage and hour laws as mandated by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Fair Labor Standards Act. These mandates and the regulations that implement them cover many workplace activities for about 10 million employers and 125 million workers. You’ll learn to navigate the numerous federal laws enforced by the Department of Labor and make informed decisions in your workplace. Other important topics covered include minimum wage, overtime pay, freedom from employment discrimination, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation.
