Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, an employee is entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. Jerry worked a total of 165 hours in January (40 + 30 + 50 + 45), which breaks down to an average of 41.25 hours per week. Since he worked more than 40 hours in the third week (50 hours), he is entitled to 10 hours of overtime pay (50 - 40) in that week. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 15, which is the total number of overtime hours worked by Jerry in January (10 hours in Week 3 + 5 hours from other weeks).
