Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
When it comes to legal termination of an employee the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has no legal requirements for prior notice to an employee regarding the termination of his or her job (Mullin, 2002). The legal requirements in layoff situations are detailed in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the WARN Act). Generally, the WARN Act requires that a covered employer provide 60 days’ notice of a plant closing or mass layoff (Mullin, 2002). This act is designed to provide protection to workers, their families, and communities.
One of the first legal requirements pertains to firms who are having an employment loss during any 30-day period of 50+ full-time employees; firms engaging in this act must provide those employees

    Legal Encounter Week 4 Law 531

    Cheeseman outlines that employment is subject to the common law of contracts (2010). Pat entered into an agreement with NewCorp for employment; acting on the premise that NewCorp would uphold all terms of the employment agreement, made major personal and financial changes to be available for employment at the assigned duty location. Although Pat signed a document acknowledging his understanding that NewCorp had the freedom to discharge at will—Pats supervisor told Pat he was being discharged because “things weren’t working out”. NewCorp did not follow company procedure to notify Pat of unsatisfactory performance and neglected to offer a Corrective Action Plan. NewCorp, having a signed copy of the discharge at will document, could argue that the company was not required to offer Pat notification or the opportunity to follow the Corrective Action Plan process. An important factor in this instance is the implication that Pat is being released based on unsatisfactory performance. NewCorp is terminating the employment contract without complying with all clauses of the employment contract and as a result Pat is taking a financial loss. Additionally, an employer under the Plant Closing Act Is exempt from notification of lay off for reasons unforeseeable at the time of notification—this does not appear to be the case in Pats situation (Cheeseman, 2010). In NewCorp’ s defense, the company could consider the employment agreement to be a voidable contract with NewCorp having the option to avoid their contractual obligations, which although Pat suffered a loss from the termination of employment, would be personally liable for any decisions or financial ramifications…

    Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employees: a Look at the Flsa

    President Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted the FLSA on June 25, 1938. It was signed in as a federal labor law to provide criteria for governing general labor practices such as overtime, minimum wages, child labor protections and equal pay. The Fair Labor Standards Act is a long and extensive document in and of itself. It defines many exceptions and exemptions. For purposes of this paper the portion of the FLSA that will be concentrated on is the difference between exempt and non-exempt employees.…
