The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)—which establishes wage and hour standards that apply to most workers at private businesses with annual revenue of at least $500,000, as well as hospitals, care centers, schools, and public agencies—requires that covered employers keep employee time and pay records. Beyond this minimal recordkeeping requirement, other important questions about wage payment are left up to states. The FLSA does not specify, for example, how and whether employers make time and pay records available to employees; when or how often employees must be paid; the manner in which pay can be issued (e.g., cash, check, direct deposit, electronic pay card, etc.); whether and under what circumstances employers can take deductions from workers’ pay; and how and by when employees must be paid following separation from employment.
