[All SPHR Questions]

John is a nonexempt employee in your company and he works Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5 PM. He will be flying from Chicago to Nashville on Sunday afternoon to represent your company in a trade show on Monday. The flight from Chicago leaves at 4PM and will arrive in Nashville at 6PM. How many hours of compensation is John eligible for because of the Sunday flight according to the Fair Labor Standards Act?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Answer option A is correct.

Harris v. Forklift Systems Inc. was referenced in the case of same-sex harassment brought to the Supreme Court in Oncale v. Sundowner (D). Oncalehelped determine that gender is of little consequence when harassment meets the statutory requirements defined in Harris. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton (B) and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth (C) were also important cases aiding in interpreting the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace.

I think the answer is B) 1 hour. Since the flight is on a Sunday and it's outside of John's regular work hours, he should be eligible for at least one hour of compensation.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if the FLSA covers travel time for nonexempt employees on weekends. I might need to double-check the regulations.

I agree with Ma, since the flight is during his normal working hours.
