The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) applies to nonexempt employees, who are typically hourly workers. The overtime rate under the FLSA is 1.5 times the employee's hourly rate, not two and a half times. The FLSA establishes minimum wage requirements and does not permit federal contractors to pay less than the prevailing wage rate. There is no subminimum training wage provision under the FLSA. Executive, professional, and administrative employees are generally classified as exempt under the FLSA, not nonexempt.
