~Civil Rights and Employment Discrimination~


Fair Labor Standards Act is a law which regulates minimum wage and overtime, which apply to all companies. It also includes such laws as the Family and Medical Leave Act, which only affects you if you employ 50 or more people.

Obtain more information by calling the National Office of Wage and Hour at 202-219-8412 or visiting the web site at: http://www.dol.gov/dol/esa/public/whd

Also check with your state office concerning any state regulations that might supersede the federal law.

The Civil Rights Act, Equal Pay for Equal Work, Age Discrimination in Employment Act and other laws to protect workers against discrimination are regulated by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission.

These regulations usually apply to companies with 15 or more employees. But some of these laws affect all business owners.
