Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arrangement described in the scenario is allowable under the FLSA as long as Lucy is paid at least the minimum wage for all hours worked and receives overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The fact that Lucy receives 12 hours of time and a half overtime pay per week for the four hours over 8 she works on each of her three workdays indicates that she is receiving overtime pay correctly. Option A is incorrect because medical workers are covered by the FLSA. Option C is incorrect because the FLSA requires overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek, not for the number of hours over 8 worked in a day. Option D is not supported by the scenario as it does not mention the availability or possibility of compensating time off.
