Q

STRATEGIC OFFICER STAFFING PROGRAM

Because Officer A burned 2 hours in the same 14-day pay period in which he worked SOSP, the time burned does not count towards time actually worked for purposes of calculating FLSA overtime. Therefore, Officer A may receive _____ pay for the hours worked as a replacement officer and still be within the 86-hour limit.

A

34
Q

Officer A also burned 4 hours of paid leave during the 14-day pay period. The overtime compensation hours are not used in calculating the 86 hours. Because he burned 4 hours, Officer A has worked 76 hours of straight time for his own regularly scheduled shifts during the 14-day pay period. Thus, Officer A may receive additional straight time pay for the 8 hours worked during the SOSP. After having worked the 8 hours of SOSP, the total straight time worked by Officer A is_____

A

84 hours.
