Answer: Fair Labor Standards Act

Explanation:

The Fair Labor Act which is enforced by the US Department of Labor is meant to govern issues of remuneration in labor such as minimum wages and overtime pay. This Act applies to private workers at the Federal, State and Local levels of Government.

This Act stipulates that Overtime should be paid to an employee with certain conditions attached and if those conditions are fulfilled, the company ought to pay the employee that Overtime. If the Employee demands their overtime and is subsequently treated unfairly in hiring, the Department of Labor will be able to protect the Employee under this Act.
