All employers must understand and follow pertinent state labor laws. In addition, your organization must ensure full compliance with the applicable state labor laws in the particular states in which you operate.

Some of the state labor laws that your organization must comply with to ensure worker rights and avoid legal trouble are the FLSA labor laws and the NLRA labor laws.

Fair Labor Standards Act
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay covered employees who are not otherwise exempt at least the federal minimum wage and overtime pay. Several states have minimum wage labor laws that are more strict than the national minimum wage labor law.
