What does FLSA stand for?

• A. Fair Labor Standards Act
• B. Federal Labor Standards Agency
• C. Financial and Labor Safety Act
• D. Foundations Law of Standards Act

Answer: (A)

This tests your knowledge of what the acronym FLSA stands for and the law it refers to. FLSA stands for Fair Labor Standards Act, a U.S. federal law enacted in 1938 that sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards, overseen by the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. The other options don’t match any real federal labor statute: there’s no Federal Labor Standards Agency, no Financial and Labor Safety Act, and no Foundations Law of Standards Act. So the correct expansion is Fair Labor Standards Act, the statute that governs core wage and hour protections.
