  • The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law establishing standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, record-keeping, and child labor making sure fair labor practices in both the private and government sectors.

  • Texas requires overtime be paid to non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours during the workweek.

  • Unfortunately, there is no federal limit on the hours a salaried employee can be forced to work each week. Salaried employees are exempt employees, which means they do not collect overtime for working more than 40 hours in a workweek. Exempt employees perform specific executive, administrative, or professional duties.
