Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the FLSA, if an employer allows or requires non-exempt employees to perform work at home, they must be compensated for that work just as if they were working on site. Therefore, if Elaine is a non-exempt employee and her employer allows her to work from home on the weekend, she should be paid for that time.
