Question

Lisa was placed with BadCo last week by FedCo, a local staffing firm. Lisa worked with BadCo for a total of 43 hours. Who is liable to Lisa for the payment of overtime wages under the FLSA?

1) BadCo
2) FedCo
3) Both BadCo and FedCo
4) Neither BadCo nor FedCo

Answer 1

BadCo is liable to Lisa for the payment of overtime wages under the FLSA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime wages are typically paid by the employer to eligible employees. In this case, Lisa was placed with BadCo by FedCo, a staffing firm. However, Lisa worked with BadCo for a total of 43 hours. Therefore, BadCo, as Lisa's employer during those hours, would be liable to pay Lisa overtime wages if she is eligible under the FLSA.
