In Sweden, the solstice is tied to the celebration of Midsummer, though the date is set at June 24 every year while the date of the summer solstice moves. Whether you stare at the sun, feast, drink or dance, be sure to enjoy the solsticeâthe days only get darker from here.
For covered, nonexempt employees, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires overtime pay (PDF) to be at least one and one-half times an employee's regular rate of pay after 40 hours of work in a workweek. Some exceptions apply under special circumstances to police and firefighters and to employees of hospitals and nursing homes.
FLSA does not have an explicit definition of a full-time employee or part-time employee. The law relies on the 40-hour week as the standard workweek and mandates overtime pay for nonexempt workers who work more than 40 hours in any one week. worker who is not legally entitled to overtime pay even after working 40 hours in a single week is sometimes referred to as a full time exempt employee but this is not a classification created by federal law.
