Federal laws pertaining to work hours are enforced by the
Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor's
Employment Standard Administration. The Wage
and Hour Division enforces federal minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping,
and child labor requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and
the labor requirements of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, the
McNamara O'Hara Service Contract Act
(SCA), the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act, and the
Copeland Anti-Kickback Act.
Discussion of these acts appears in the
Government Contracts subtopic
under the Wages topic.
The Wage and Hour Division has a variety of guidance materials
available for both employees and employers on the subject of work hours.
