Employment Law
Prepare a briefing on the following topic:
Employment Law – Fair Labor Standards Act
The paper should be no more than 1500 words in length (about 6 pages). Your research
should be thorough, but does not have to be exhaustive – footnotes appreciated.
Your paper should be written EITHER from the point of view of workers who believe
their rights have been violated OR a Human Resources Manager who is responsible for
complying with the law. Your paper should take the form of a briefing paper and could
be structured roughly as follows:
1. A brief description of the main provisions of the law (you may choose to discuss only
part of the law) and a summary statement of why the law or part of the law is significant
(1 page).
2. What steps are involved in enforcing the law/attempting to resolve the dispute?
(1 page)
3. What proof would be required to establish that a violation has occurred? (1 page)
4. What is the likely remedy if a violation is proven)? (1 page)
5. Conclusion: How could a violation be avoided? (1 page)
