Question

Adrienne worked 88 hours during a biweekly period. Her standard workweek comprises 38.5 hours and company policy states that employees may receive overtime or compensatory time for hours worked in excess of 38.5. She has requested compensatory time in lieu of overtime, in keeping with company policy. She must receive _____________ hours of compensatory time.

Answer 1

She must receive 11 hours of compensatory time

Step-by-step explanation:

Company policy pays overtime if workers exceed 38.5 hours per week.

38.5 X 2 weeks = 77 hours

Adrienne worked 88 hours, therefore:

88 hours worked - 77 non overtime hours = 11 overtime hours
