Every question ends the same way: the answer you picked, the answer that scores, and the reasoning that separates them.
A non-exempt manufacturing employee earns $20.00 per hour and works 50 hours in a single workweek. They also receive a $100.00 non-discretionary production bonus for that week. What is the employee's total gross pay for the week under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)?
Instructor's Desk
Non-discretionary bonuses must be factored into the regular rate of pay before calculating overtime.
Add the $1,000 base pay to the $100 bonus for $1,100 in straight-time earnings.
Divide by 50 hours to find the true $22/hour regular rate, making the half-time overtime premium $11 per hour.
Calculating overtime on the base wage alone triggers strict FLSA liability for wage theft and double liquidated damages.
