Which federal legislation requires a minimum wage for nonexempt employees?

  1. Federal Minimum Wage Rate

  2. FLSA

  3. Overtime Requirements

  4. Acceptable Work Time Rounding Practices

The correct answer is: FLSA

The correct answer is B. FLSA, which stands for the Fair Labor Standards Act. The FLSA is a federal legislation that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay eligibility, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in federal, state, and local governments. The FLSA sets the federal minimum wage that nonexempt employees are entitled to receive. Option A (Federal Minimum Wage Rate), while sounding relevant, is not the specific legislation that mandates the minimum wage; it is the actual rate set by the Fair Labor Standards Act. Option C (Overtime Requirements) and Option D (Acceptable Work Time Rounding Practices) are also important aspects regulated by the FLSA, but they are not specific to requiring a minimum wage for nonexempt employees.
