Should the House exclude real estate agents and direct sellers from the definition of employee under the FLSA?
Direct Seller and Real Estate Agent Harmonization Act (H.R. 3495)
Real estate agents and direct sellers of consumer products would no longer count as employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA).
- Workers who count as FLSA employees must be paid the minimum wage
- FLSA employees are generally eligible for overtime after a 40-hour workweek
