The Fair Labor Standards Act sets forth the following six criteria for an unpaid internship to be legal:
- The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training, which would be given, in an educational environment.
- The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern.
- The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff.
- The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded.
- The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship.
- The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
