About this Event

About the Series – Organized by the SBA Lower Rio Grande Valley District Office
Introducing the “Let's Talk Business Series”, a 12-part program connecting entrepreneurs with federal, state, and local small business resources. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or want to grow your business, this series presents essential business topics, provides a forum for networking, and promotes success in today’s dynamic business environment. Participants may attend one, two, six, or all sessions.

Session 8 – Fair Labor Standards Act

Owning a small business brings many responsibilities, including compliance with various federal labor and employment laws. Employers must comply with both federal and state laws. As a business owner, you have the responsibility to pay your employees properly, maintain certain records, adhere to certain requirements if you employ minors, provide eligible workers with unpaid family or medical leave, and notify your employees of their rights in the workplace.

This session, presented by the U.S. Department of Labor-Wage and Hour Division, will teach participants the importance of complying with rules and regulations covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Discover and Learn:
Policies under minimum wage, overtime provisions, and tip credit for “tipped employees.”
Child labor provisions and employment regulations for youth dependent on the age and type of work being conducted
Who is eligible under the Family and Medical Leave Act, and what does it cover
Enforcement of Violations, who can report violations, and what happens next
