Question

Which of the following groups best defines the term nonexempt under FLSA?

A. A lower-paid class of EEs
B. Hourly-paid workers only
C. EEs who must be paid overtime
D. A special class of EEs as determined by the ER

Answer 1

Nonexempt employees under FLSA are those who must be paid overtime for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, regardless of their pay rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the term nonexempt refers to employees who must be paid overtime for any hours worked beyond 40 hours in a workweek. This group of employees includes both hourly and salaried workers, regardless of their pay rate. Nonexempt employees are entitled to be paid at least the federal minimum wage and must receive overtime pay at a rate of one-and-a-half times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
