The book is designed to explain the entire Fair Labor Standards Act. The 1974 amendments are detailed regarding new and previously covered employees, agricultural labor, government employees, domestics, conglomerates, small stores, other revisions, overtime exemptions, and age discrimination. The document elaborates on specifications for overtime for various categories of employees including executive, administrative, and professional exemptions and salesmen. The employment and wages of children and students are discussed at length. Recordkeeping requirements are divided into two sections dealing with general and miscellaneous rules. A section devoted to equal employment opportunities deals thoroughly with court rulings on the position of man and woman before the law, job advertisement, implementing corrective measures, and drafting an Equal Employment Opportunity Contract (EEOC) policy statement: it presents Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act, a sample of the Employer Information Report EEO-1, and information report instructions. The concluding section is concerned with equal pay and the beneficial effects of the law. (JB)
