Practice question
Under an otherwise compliant compressed workweek based on a normal 48-hour week, a covered worker performs 13 actual hours in one day. The employer says the weekly total remains below 48, so no overtime premium can arise. Which is correct?
- Only the weekly total matters.
- All 13 hours become ordinary hours automatically.
- Work beyond 12 hours in that day remains subject to overtime premium.
- The worker loses the wage for the 13th hour.
- The employer may replace the premium with an apology.
