Internships

 

The FLSA requires internships follow the following criteria:

  • The internship is similar to training which would be given in an educational work environment.
  • The internship experience is to benefit the intern.
  • The intern does not take the place of any regular employee and works under close supervision of existing staff.
  • The employer providing the training receives no immediate advantage from the responsibilities of the intern, and in some cases the employer’s duties may actually be slowed down.
  • The intern is not guaranteed a job from the employer at the end of the internship.
  • Both the employer and the intern understand the intern will not be paid any wages for their time spent as an intern.
