Practice question

Payroll deducts a covered worker’s fifteen-minute coffee break because she produced no output during it. Is that justified under Section 7?
  1. Yes, every nonproductive minute is unpaid
  2. Yes, coffee is always a personal expense so break time cannot count
  3. Yes, only breaks of one minute count
  4. Yes, if management calls it a privilege
  5. No; the stated short rest period is compensable working time
