1. 8-hour shift on Christmas Day
2. 10-hour shift
3. 6-hour shift
4. 5-hour shift
5. 9-hour shift
Answer: 2; 5
Rationale:
• 8-hour shift on Christmas Day: Christmas is a holiday, but the 8-hour shift would only make the work week equal to 40 hours. The Fair Labor Standard Act regulates overtime. Overtime is defined as working more than 40 hours in one week. It does not require that overtime be paid for hours worked on holidays or weekends.
• 10-hour shift: The 10-hour shift would result in 2 hours of overtime. Overtime is defined as working more than 40 hours in one week.
• 6-hour shift: The 6 hour shift would not be considered overtime. Overtime is defined as working more than 40 hours in one week.
• 5-hour shift: The 5-hour shift would not be considered overtime. Overtime is defined as working more than 40 hours in one week.
• 9-hour shift: The 9-hour shift would result in 1 hour of overtime. Overtime is defined as working more than 40 hours in one week.
