Carly just hired her first two assistants for her new interior design showroom. She knows that there are some new laws she has to pay attention to, but she isn’t sure what they are. She decides to hire a business consultant to help her stay on track. What law would the business consultant MOST LIKELY tell Carly she needs to follow now that she has employees?

Hiring employees means Carly must follow rules about wages, overtime, and child labor. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets these federal workplace standards, so it is the most relevant choice. Federal tax law also applies to businesses, but the FLSA specifically governs important employer responsibilities toward employees.
