What type of compensation is provided to non-exempt employees under the Fluctuating Workweek method?

  1. Overtime pay

  2. Bonus pay

  3. Straight time compensation regardless of hours worked

  4. Time off in lieu of payment

The correct answer is: Straight time compensation regardless of hours worked

Under the Fluctuating Workweek method, non-exempt employees are provided with a fixed salary regardless of the number of hours worked in a week. This fixed salary includes compensation for all hours worked, so employees are not paid overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because under the Fluctuating Workweek method, non-exempt employees do not receive additional overtime pay, bonus pay, or time off in lieu of payment for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
