Which classification of employees is entitled to the benefits and protections of the FLSA?

  1. Exempt employees

  2. Hourly wage employees

  3. White Collar employees

  4. Nonexempt employees

The correct answer is: Nonexempt employees

Nonexempt employees are entitled to the benefits and protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Nonexempt employees are typically eligible for minimum wage, overtime pay, and other protections provided by the FLSA. On the other hand, exempt employees are not entitled to overtime pay and some of the other provisions of the FLSA. Hourly wage employees and white-collar employees can fall under either exempt or nonexempt categories, depending on their specific job duties and salary level.
