Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, if a covered, nonexempt employee works consecutive weeks of 45, 42, 38, and 33 hours, how many hours of overtime must be paid to the employee?
Choice "B" is correct. Nonexempt employees are entitled to overtime pay whenever they work more than 40 hours in any given weekly period. Therefore, the employee is entitled to overtime of five hours from week 1 and 2 hours from week 2. Weeks 3 and 4 do not offset the entitlement.
