Answer to Question 1

Employees may file suit to recover back wages and overtime plus liquidated damages in an equal amount. They may also seek reinstatement and may recover legal fees. The statute of limitations for violations is two years; for willful violations it is extended to three years. Employees generally may not release employers for less than the full amount owing, nor may employees waive their rights to compensation under the act. The child labor prohibitions are enforced by the prohibition of interstate shipment of goods produced by child labor and by fines. Fines may also be levied against employers who keep inadequate wage and hour records.
