The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a complex law, and that complexity sometimes requires clarification on applicability or content. This clarification comes through opinion letters, and being able to read, interpret, and communicate the contents of complex HR opinions or laws is important (in this case, these letters are written by the Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor).
