EmploymentQuestion 253 of 1605
An employee earning $20.00 per hour misses both a required meal period and a required rest period on the same workday. What total premium pay is owed for that day?
a.$20.00 (one hour total)
b.$40.00 (one hour for the meal violation plus one hour for the rest violation)
c.$10.00
d.$60.00 (three hours)
Explanation
Premium pay is one additional hour of pay at the regular rate per category of violation per day — one hour for meal-period violations and a separate hour for rest-period violations. Here that is $20.00 + $20.00 = $40.00.
