Assignment task:
Calzoni Boating Co. is an interstate business engaged in manufacturing and selling boats. The company has five hundred nonunion employees. Representatives of these employees are requesting a four-day, ten-hours-per-day workweek, and Calzoni is concerned that this would require paying time and a half after eight hours per day.
Will the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in fact require paying time and a half for all hours worked over eight hours per day if the employees' proposal is accepted? Explain.
