The Fair Labor Standards Act applies to all employers who have ___ or more employees.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay eligibility, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards for employees in both the private and public sectors. It applies to employers who have at least one employee engaged in commerce or employed by an enterprise engaged in commerce. This means that even a single employee is sufficient for the FLSA to apply.

The understanding that the FLSA covers employers with a minimum of one employee is foundational for compliance and helps ensure that even small businesses are subject to important labor standards. In contrast, higher numbers of employees cited in the other choices do not accurately reflect the FLSA's requirement and may lead to a misunderstanding of the law's applicability to different sizes of employers.
