Why each option

The Fair Labor Standards Act covers four specific areas of employment: minimum wage, overtime, record keeping, and child labor. Commissions, royalties, and tips are not among these four defined areas.

ACommissions, royalties, and tipsCorrect

The FLSA's four core coverage areas are minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor standards. Commissions, royalties, and tips may be subject to other wage regulations, but they are not one of the four foundational pillars explicitly defined by the FLSA.

BOvertime

Overtime is one of the four areas explicitly covered by the FLSA, requiring time-and-a-half pay for non-exempt employees working more than 40 hours per week.

CRecord keeping

Record keeping is one of the four areas explicitly covered by the FLSA, mandating that employers maintain accurate records of hours worked and wages paid.

DMinimum wage

Minimum wage is one of the four areas explicitly covered by the FLSA, establishing a federal floor for hourly compensation.
