Answer

You are liable to file an amendment on the complaint properly stating your allegations based upon the FLSA violation and removing reference to anything other than those violations. You cannot raise any issues pertaining to the age/gender/race claims in your complaint, but to the extent the actions pertain to your FLSA complaint you can still raise them again. Now, was it explained to you about exhausting administrative remedies means you had to file your complaint through the EEOC before being able to file suit? If you have not already done so and are within the 300 day time limit you can file your complaint with them still and then later seek to amend your suit again to include those charges.
