Calzoni Boating Co. is an interstate business engaged in manufacturing and selling boats. The company has five hundred nonunion employees. Representatives of these employees are requesting a four-day, ten-hours-per-day workweek, and Calzoni is concerned that this would require paying time and a half after eight hours per day. Which federal act is Calzoni thinking of that might require this? Will the act in fact require paying time and a half for all hours worked over eight hours per day if the employees’ proposal is accepted? Explain.

The answer is provided below.

Explanation:

In this scenario, situation, the federal act that Calzoni Boating Co. is thinking of is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), that was passed in 1938.

According to the

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees who work for more than forty hours in a week must be paid 1.5 times the regular amount paid for all hours over forty.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime provisions only apply after the employee has worked for more than forty hours in the week. Therefore, Calzoni is not violating the FLSA act by allowing the employees to work four-day weeks with a ten-hour days which is the same thing as 40 hours per week without the company paying them the overtime rate.
