Apply California’s standard overtime rules, with no alternative-workweek or other exception. A nonexempt employee works 9 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work within the same workweek, at a regular rate of $30 per hour. What pay is due for that day?

Correct Answer

D) $420.

For the stated seventh consecutive workday, 8 × $45 + 1 × $60 = $420. The $270 choice is nine straight-time hours. The $360 choice pays only the first eight hours at $45 and omits the ninth; it is not nine hours of overtime pay. The $390 alternative does not equal the required sum.
