What are the requirements for a business to be covered by Arkansas wage and hour laws as opposed to federal laws?
An employer must comply with the strictest child labor laws. To determine which law the company of employees over the age of 17 is covered by, an employer that grosses over $500,000 per year or is engaged in interstate commerce is subject to federal and Arkansas wage and hour law. An employer that makes less than $500,000 per year and is not engaged in interstate commerce but has at least four employees is subject to Arkansas wage and hour laws.
