If you are a corporate leader, business owner or manager, and you deal with labor policy, you need to have a copy of the FLSA in your library.

A friend and local businessman called me to ask a question about employee lunches and overtime pay, which prompted me to write this material, and to make a valuable resource available to my readers.

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. It's tough to find, even online, so here's a link to a PDF file found on my website called The Employers Law Guide, a Dept. of Labor publication that organizes the various laws and shows how they apply to businesses. Click Here!

The publication is 114 pages, but it's a must have for any business person dealing with employee wages and benefits.

You can also go to the U.S. Department of Labor website www.dol.gov and browse around. This site is pretty interactive, with special 'Compliance Assistance' sections. One of the sections can assist you in determining if a person can be 'exempt' (salary) or 'non-exempt' (hourly and eligible for overtime pay)
You can also find out how to properly calculate overtime pay when bonuses, commissions, and abnormal scheduling are part of job requirements.

If you want to see both the Fair Labor Standards Act (the actual law) and it's regulations, click here to go to my website where it is stored and available for you to view or download (again an Acrobat pdf file).

By digging through the Department of Labor's website at www.dol.gov, you can find a webpage that lists all the major laws they are responsible for enforcing -- from the Black Lung Benefits Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, to the Whistleblowers Protection act. Click here

A Tip from the ThinkTank --

If you want to know if your business/career efforts are working just ask yourself these two questions:

When you first get up in the morning, "What am I going to do today that will help me reach my goals?

And at the end of each day, "What did I do today to help me reach my goals?

Incredibly simple, yet VERY powerful.

Don't have a vision and strategy? If that bothers you, when are you going to do something about that?

Remember -- as one of my clients recently said to me, "The sky is up, the ground is down and I know coaching works".

There's really no excuse because the first hour is on me.
