Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The FLSA provides exemptions for certain categories of employees, including executive, administrative, and professional employees who meet certain criteria, such as being paid a salary of at least $684 per week and performing primarily exempt job duties. As the head of the insurance claims department, it is likely that Roger meets the criteria for the exempt employee category and is therefore not entitled to overtime pay. None of the other options presented have any bearing on whether or not Roger is eligible for overtime pay under the FLSA.
