Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonexempt employees who are covered by overtime and reporting provisions are usually paid wages, which are based on the number of hours worked. They are not typically paid a salary, as salaried employees are generally exempt from these provisions. Nonexempt employees are also not paid regardless of hours worked, as they must report and receive overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 per week. Therefore, only choice B is correct.
