[[Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938|The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)]] is the federal law commonly known for minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor, recordkeeping, and special minimum wage standards applicable to most private and public employees. FLSA provides the agency with civil and criminal remedies, and also includes provisions for individual employees to file private lawsuits. The 1989 Amendments to FLSA added a provision for civil money penalties (CMP) for repeated or willful minimum wage or overtime violations. (Since 1974, FLSA has contained a similar CMP provision for child labor violations.)<ref name="Statutes">{{Cite web|url=https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/statutes/summary.htm|title=Major Laws Administered/Enforced - Wage and Hour Division (WHD) - U.S. Department of Labor|website=www.dol.gov|access-date=2018-01-07}}</ref> | |||
