The FLSA is the primary federal law governing wages and hours in the US. Key provisions: (1) Federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr, though most states are higher), (2) Overtime at 1.5x for hours beyond 40/week for non-exempt employees, (3) Equal pay for equal work, (4) Child labor restrictions, and (5) Record-keeping requirements. The FLSA covers most private-sector employees. Common FLSA violations include misclassifying employees as exempt, not paying overtime, and requiring off-the-clock work.
