Under the Public Service Acts, what overtime rate must contractors pay for work exceeding 40 hours on contracts of $100,000 or more?

  1. Equal to regular wage

  2. Double the regular wage

  3. One and one-half times

  4. Triple the regular wage

The correct answer is: One and one-half times

Under the Public Service Acts, contractors must pay one and one-half times the regular wage for overtime work exceeding 40 hours on contracts of $100,000 or more. This is in line with the standard overtime rate required for most employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for work exceeding 40 hours in a workweek. Option A is incorrect because employees are generally entitled to receive more than their regular wage for overtime work. Option B and Option D are incorrect as they do not align with the standard overtime rate regulations set by the FLSA and the Public Service Acts.
