Week Two - 47 hours
Week Three - 40 Hours
Week Four - 39 hours
Which of the following statements is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erica worked a total of 154 hours in 4 weeks, which averages to 38.5 hours per week. Any hours worked over 40 in a week must be paid at an overtime rate of at least 1.5 times her regular rate of pay. Therefore, since she worked 47 hours in week two, she is owed 7 hours of overtime pay. Note that wait staff are still entitled to overtime pay regardless of their tips, as long as they meet the criteria of working over 40 hours in a week. Option B is incorrect since it is not just about the average hours per week, but the actual hours worked in each individual week. Option C is incorrect since wait staff are still entitled to overtime compensation. Option D is incorrect as there is no indication that Erica's employer failed to give her the agreed-for 40 hours per week.
