Question

-Sally works an hourly office job from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with an hour each day for lunch. Lunch is unpaid, so her weekly hours total 37½. One Friday, her boss Harry asks her to stay an extra hour to complete a project. If she stays the extra hour, she will be entitled to overtime pay for that hour.

a. True

b. False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fair Labor Standards Act enacted into law in 1938, covers the protection of employees' rights such as minimum wage, child labor laws and overtime conditions.

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, an employee who works overtime is entitled to a payment of one and half times their hourly pay. However overtime counts as working for more than 40 hours in a week.

Because Sally has only worked for 37 and a half hours, she will not be entitled to any overtime pay.
