Summary:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, as amended, provides minimum wage, overtime pay, and related protections for covered workers. In August 1998, in order to clarify the distinction between an employee and a volunteer with respect to work in a non-profit food bank, the 105th Congress passed the "Amy Somers Volunteers at Food Banks Act," subsequently signed by President Clinton (P.L. 105-221).
