FAQ: Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

Can I process FLSA adjustments for all pay frequencies?: Yes. Set up the pay component that is paying the FLSA premium rate with these Workday-delivered FLSA related calculations:
FLSA Premium Hours
: Set up this calculation type on the related calculation that is using Hours (unprorated
).
FLSA Premium Rate
: Set up this calculation type on the related calculation for the premium, or half-time, portion of overtime.
Workday supports work periods not aligned with pay periods, such as monthly and semimonthly periods. Workday FLSA processing enables:
FLSA work periods that cross pay periods.
Manual and on-demand results to accumulate by FLSA work period.
Retro adjustments for all pay frequencies.
Automatic adjustments to the overtime premium rate in certain situations.
If I have multiple gross-to-net results with FLSA, does Workday review all of them to calculate the regular rate of pay?: Yes.
If workers changed FEINs or pay groups, would I be able to process the resulting subperiods as FLSA?: FLSA continues to calculate when you move workers from 1 pay group to another. See Setup Considerations: FLSA Company Relationships (USA).
How can I process a quarterly bonus that prorates for each weekly period?: Workday FLSA processing supports multiple pay periods, so you can allocate a bonus across pay periods.
Does Workday summarize wages and adjustments on payslips and pay checks when I input hours daily?: Yes. When payslips are configured, the FLSA wages and adjustments display in the
Earnings
section. There’s no special payslip configuration required for FLSA.
Is FLSA a worktag?: No. Workday FLSA functions according to the
Start Date
and
End Date
for the work period. You can't use worktags to implement Workday-delivered FLSA.
