What area of employee law does the Fair Labor Standards Act NOT cover?

Minimum wage
Overtime compensation
Equal pay
Reasonable accommodation

The correct answer is: Reasonable accommodation

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) primarily addresses issues related to minimum wage and overtime compensation, establishing standards that employers must meet regarding employee pay. It ensures that covered employees receive at least the federal minimum wage and overtime pay at one and a half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Reasonable accommodation, however, is not within the purview of the FLSA. This concept is mainly covered under different legislation, specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act. These laws require employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, thereby addressing their specific needs in the workplace, rather than focusing solely on wage-related issues. Thus, the correct understanding highlights that while the FLSA provides critical protections around wages and hours worked, it does not extend to regulations concerning accommodations for disabilities.
