Fair Labor Standards Act

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements for employees in the private sector and in federal, state, and local governments.


MSU Threshold

On April 23, 2024 the Department of Labor (DOL) announced a significant change to the FLSA’s minimum salary threshold for overtime pay. While this change was vacated by a federal judge on Nov. 15, 2024, MSU will maintain an overtime exemption threshold of $43,888.
