Wage and hour compliance requires constant monitoring and access to federal and state sources of information to ensure laws and regulations are followed by employers. Historic legislation, such as FLSA as well as other notable laws and acts serve the intention of upholding minimum standards to protect workers. These laws and regulations are enacted to maintain standards, and they affect most every U.S. workplace in both public and private sectors.

Maintaining compliance with the many wage and hour laws and regulations requires recordkeeping requirements as well as duties and responsibilities payroll professionals must adhere to. Among these responsibilities include taking proper deductions, paying the prevailing wage, complying with garnishment orders and paying terminated employees on time.
