Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The organization is most likely violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as it requires employers to pay eligible employees overtime rates for any hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek. If several employees who qualify are not being paid overtime rates, it indicates a violation of FLSA. Option A (Americans with Disabilities Act) and Option B (Pregnancy Discrimination Act) are not relevant to the given statement. Option C (Family and Medical Leave Act) does not address the issue of overtime payment. Option E (Equal Pay Act) is also relevant to statement 1, but not statement 3.
