Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Answer option B is correct.
The Department of Labor and the FLSA does not consider travel time outside of normal working hours to be compensable. Because John works between the hours of 8AM and 5PM his flight is eligible for just one hour of compensation. This is true even though the flight happens to be on the weekend.
Answer option A is incorrect. John will receive one hour of payment, not zero.
Answer option C is incorrect. John will only receive one hour of payment as one hour is between his regular working hours and the other is not.
Answer option D is incorrect. John won't receive time and a half for his travel.
