Practice question
A repair worker experiences two gaps. During the first he must remain by the machine because restart is imminent. During the second he is fully relieved for several hours, may leave, and can effectively pursue personal interests with a definite return time. No favorable agreement changes the result. Which is the better analysis?
- The first can count as required waiting, while the genuinely free interval is treated differently
- Every inactive interval is necessarily unpaid
- Every free interval is necessarily overtime
- The worker must stay outside the building to make all time unpaid
- A payroll label conclusively controls both
