The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938[1] (abbreviated as FLSA; also referred to as the Wages and Hours Bill[2]) is a federal statute of the United States. The FLSA established a national minimum wage,[3] guaranteed 'time-and-a-half' for overtime in certain jobs,[4] and prohibited most employment of minors in "oppressive child labor," a term that is defined in the statute.[5] It applies to employees engaged in interstate commerce or employed by an enterprise engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce,[6] unless the employer can claim an exemption from coverage.
The 1961 FLSA Amendment added another method of determining a type of coverage called enterprise coverage. Enterprise coverage applies only when the business is involved in interstate commerce and its gross annual business volume is a minimum of $500,000. All employees working for these “enterprises” are then covered by the FLSA so long as the individual firms of the "enterprise have a revenue greater than $500,000 per year.

Got told he had to pay minumum wage with overtime plus had to charge the worker for room and board and himself was taxed on that income. I knew a few guys around here who made a living just working for any farmer when needed. In the summer they were busy sun to down and still had 3-4 days a week worth of work in the winter.
