Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) aims to protect the rights of workers in each state by providing them with just compensation. This way, workers would not be overworked and underpaid as they will be properly compensated for their hours of work. However, there are some who are not covered by this law as they are involved in certain industries or hold job positions where they are paid on a salary basis.
