• if deduction equals pay for time lost, no FLSA violation has occurred;<br />
it can be deducted.<br />
• if an additional penalty amount is deducted, that amount cannot<br />
reduce the employees wages for the minimum required for the hours<br />
actually worked – that would constitute pay below FLSA minimum<br />
wage.<br />

employee’s share of Social Security and Medicare are considered<br />
wages paid to employee and FLSA minimum wage laws do not<br />
apply<br />
