Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nicholas will receive compensation for wait time when it is for the firm's benefit. This means that if he is waiting for the executive to conduct business or if he is required to wait because of the executive's schedule, he will still be compensated for that time. However, he will not be compensated for idle times when he is not actively working or waiting for the executive. As for maintaining a log of miles driven, it is not mentioned in the passage and therefore cannot be assumed. And while Nicholas may be paid for overtime hours worked over 40 hours per week, the passage does not provide enough information to determine if he has worked any overtime.
