The article states:
- On August 23, 2004, controversial changes to the FLSA's overtime laws went into effect,
My hazy recollection is that the FLSA was not amended, so this sentence is incorrect. It should say "... changes to Department of Labor regulations issued under the [authority of the] FLSA ..." if I am correct. 18.26.0.18 04:48, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] uncredentialed computer programmers?
I find the phrase:
- ... technical employees, such as computer programmers, who have a significant degree of specialized knowledge without formal academic credentials.
problematic as it seems to imply that most or all computer programmers lack "formal academic credentials"; a significant number do have relevant degrees.--Sommerfeld 17:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the comment of Sommerfeld. I have changed the article accordingly. Famspear 17:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Criminal provisions
Does anyone know if there are any criminal statutes included in the FLSA, i.e. the government can bring criminal actions against companies who grossly violate some provions? There are certainly civil provisions here - my hunch is that that is all that is present. Thanks for any help.
