This = warehouse, much like a bar code ID on a product in a store their is a tax ID in the warehouse.
I guess your not familiar with the Fair Labor Standards Act – what does it mean?
You must determine if the business falls under the provisions of the Federal Wage and Hour laws, which are numerous and somewhat complicated.
Many states have additional sets of regulations and reporting requirements concerning the employee.
The FLSA applies to all employees of enterprises engaged in interstate commerce, producing goods intended for interstate commerce or working on goods that have crossed state lines (if two or more employees meet the definition of "engaged in interstate commerce," then the FLSA covers the entire business).
Many states have additional sets of regulations for minimum wage and overtime. They may regulate areas not covered by the FLSA such as frequency of paycheck, method of payment and reporting requirements to the employee.
Interstate commerce is quite broadly defined as employees who:
* Work in communications or transportation
* Regularly use the mail or telephone for interstate communication
* Keep records of interstate transactions
* Handle, ship, or receive goods that have crossed state lines
* Cross state lines for employment purposes
As you said below " Congress, on the other hand, can obstrust interstate commerce if it wants to ". How do you suppose they will use OR ABUSE the standards set forth in the FLSA? You got to be a real idiot to think they will not try this as they have successfully done in the past.
Just look at the legal definition for "Actions in Commerce", even 2 Citizens procreating can be broadly defined as Interstate Commerce. The reward is just another stock certificate in the warehouse to them.

No, they haven't. What they have held is that States can't obstruct interstate commerce (although States can tax such commerce in certain cir***stances). Congress, on the other hand, can obstrust interstate commerce if it wants to -- e.g., it can make it a crime to transport certain articles in interstate commerce.
