Answer 1

Scheduling overtime is a popular choice for getting projects back on schedule because

• True- Even if it involves additional costs, you minimize additional coordination and training costs.

  New appointment and on the job training is a time-consuming and relatively expensive procedure for any company. So it is better to implement overtime works for those experienced staff who are on current projects.

• True- If it involves salaried workers, no direct costs are added to the project.

  For those salaried people who come under the exempt employee category, as per labor law, a company need not pay them for overtime. This statement is right.

• False- It tends to avoid accidents, inferior performance and turnover.

  Inferior performance can still happen with current employees if you attribute them overtime job regularly. Hence, this is a false statement.

• False- If it involves hourly workers no direct costs are added to the project.

  Hourly workers come under the non-exempt category and are eligible for overtime pay. So this is also a delusive statement as per law.
