Wage and Overtime Provisions Under the FLSA
The FLSA requires employers to pay covered employees at least the federal minimum wage, which may be supplemented by higher state or local minimum wages. Additionally, non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay—typically at one and a half times their regular rate—for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. South Carolina employers must comply with these federal standards as well as any applicable state wage laws.

For employers, we provide support in correctly classifying employees as exempt or non-exempt to ensure compliance, help develop wage policies, and prevent costly disputes. Addressing these matters proactively can save time, money, and stress for all parties involved.
