The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a U.S. federal law that sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards. For time tracking, it defines how working hours and overtime must be recorded and paid, making accurate, auditable time and attendance tracking systems essential for compliance. Time tracking tools used in U.S. organizations must support reliable capture of hours worked, visibility into overtime, and long-term retention of editable history to satisfy FLSA requirements and reduce risk of non-compliance and payroll disputes.
