Who is covered by federal minimum wage law (the Fair Labor Standards Act)?
– If your enterprise has annual sales of $500,000 or more, you are covered by federal minimum wage law, known as the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA. – Regardless of your sales volume, if you have any employees who engage in “interstate commerce” (example: employees who regularly take out-of-state phone calls, process credit cards from out of state, unload goods shipped from another state, etc.), these employees are covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act. If your sales volume is less than $500,000 a year, you are probably covered by state law and should check with your state labor department for more details.
