The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping and youth employment standards affecting employees. The FLSA is enforced by the Department of Labor (DOL). All Big “I” member agencies are impacted in some way by FLSA regulations. Big “I” advocacy in this area focuses on ensuring that federal employment laws and regulations are not overly burdensome for insurance agencies and brokerages—both small and large.
