Which of the following spheres of the employer-employee relationship is not
usually governed by individual state governments?
A. Vacation pay
B. Unclaimed wages
C. Severance pay
D. Overtime pay
Answer:
D
Overtime pay is not typically governed by individual state governments. Key
Takeaway: According to the FLSA, an employee in any given business must be
classified as either exempt or nonexempt. In order to be exempt, an employee
must be paid a salary of at least $23,660 per year. An employee who is entitled to
hourly pay (at minimum wage or above), overtime, and protections under child
labor and equal pay, that employee is considered to be non-exempt. Because
FLSA is a federal policy, overtime pay is not typically governed by individual
state governments.
