An advertising department manager, supervising five full-time employees, is paid a monthly salary of $3,126.00. Last month, the employee worked 35 hours in the first week, 55 hours in week two, 40 hours in week three, and 50 hours in week four. Under the FLSA, how many hours of overtime, if any, must the employee be paid?

Answer :

Final answer:

The employee worked 45 hours of overtime.

Explanation:

The employee worked 35 hours in week one, 55 hours in week two, 40 hours in week three, and 50 hours in week four. The employee's regular working hours for the month are 35 + 40 + 50 = 125 hours. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), any hours worked in excess of 40 per week are considered overtime. In this case, the employee worked 125 - 40 = 85 regular hours, and 85 - 40 = 45 hours of overtime were worked.
