Is Claude allowed to receive time and a half for his work if he worked more than eight hours a day?

A. He can get double time instead
B. Time and a half is allowed
C. The regular pay only
D. Depends on the number of hours he worked in the week

The correct answer is: D. Depends on the number of hours he worked in the week

The correct response indicates that Claude's eligibility for time and a half pay is contingent upon the number of hours he worked in the week. This reflects the guidelines established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which stipulates that non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay, typically calculated as time and a half, after they exceed 40 hours of work in a workweek. If Claude has worked more than 40 hours in the week, he is indeed entitled to overtime pay for those additional hours worked beyond that threshold. Conversely, if he has not exceeded the 40-hour limit, even with a workday that exceeds eight hours, he would not qualify for the time and a half rate. Understanding this principle emphasizes the importance of tracking both daily and weekly hours worked to ensure compliance with labor laws regarding compensation.
