The Commentary On Fair Labor Standards Act Exemptions

By Eloise Hewitt


In the growing economy the need for having exemptions for those who work be it a part time or full time is of much benefit. On the fair labor standards act exemptions are of much advantage to the employer of a given firm organization. This is with the point that some human resource persons are not liable from the overtime reimburse and provisions.

The labor exemptions are closely construed against the manager asserting them. Moreover the needs for employees and employers to consecutively cross check the precise terms and conditions of an exclusion in light of duties of employee in an actual sense before presumptuous that the exclusion might be appropriate to the employee.

The support that comes with the application of the weigh down is on employer. This is due to different level that comes in terms with the law. The law exempts any person working on a weekly overtime of 40 hours. Though giving out of one and a half percent on total income of an employer is provided for all levels in the professionalism that lies with this exemption.

A good example is the custom-built employers. They are able to manage their employees on the sales commission administered to them. Moreover still, they still have to consider the one and a half percent of the payment due to their employees as provided for by the law. This is with the consideration of total income without the commission.

The computer experts section 13(a) (17) of the law on labor provides that some given experts to be paid a minimum of $27.63 per hour. They are excluded from the overtime provident of the law. The human resource that aid the driver, also are of benefit to this law if they are working by motor carrier nor if the duties affect the well-being of function of vehicles in transportation of goods or passengers or foreign business.

For the minors working on firms of their parents or guardians for given number of hours in their family business also do operate on this law. The FLA through the organs on human rights protects the child from employments on these mining areas and any other hazardous areas as provided for by the secretary of labor.

In the agricultural sectors, the rules are statutory in the nature and the agriculture department enacts regulations by the US congress. In the non agricultural activities where child employment are encouraged, there is set minimum wage pay and overtime payment to the minor. This is based on the fact that the wage is to be paid in equal basis and not gender biased.

The FLA laws in the revised 2004 chapter of this constitution were in way to create the grounds to eradicate oppression by the managers on their employees. It advocated for equal payment that goes beyond gender differences and the overtime working hours of human resource. Though the rules have exemptions based on basis of salary level, salary basis and job duties. Mostly it exempts the executive, professionals, administrative and computer experts. On this note, overtime is defined as more than 40 hours worked a week.
