Question

Aimee is a salaried nonexempt employee who earns an annual salary of $56,000 for a 43-hour workweek, paid biweekly. The employer pays overtime for any hours worked in excess of 43 per week. During a pay period, she worked 95 hours. She has requested that she take compensatory time in lieu of paid overtime. How much compensatory time should she receive, assuming that her firm approves the compensatory time

Answer 1

the compensatory time that would be received is 13.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the compensatory time that would be received is as follows:

Actual hours worked 95

Less: Regular working hours 86 (43 hours × 2)

Overtime hours worked 9

Now

Compensatory time 13.5 (9 hours × 1.5)

Hence, the compensatory time that would be received is 13.5 hours
