Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct choice is D. World can pay Candy less than minimum wage because she is in training only if the employer obtains a certificate issued by the Department of Labor's wage and hour administrator. This is allowed under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) for trainees who are learning a new skill and not yet productive in the workplace. However, the employer must follow specific guidelines and obtain the necessary certificate before paying less than minimum wage.
