Expert Solution

1) Employees who receive a bi-weekly paycheck get paid __________ times per year.

Answer: (c) 26

Explanation: As the name suggests, in a bi-weekly payment system, employees receive paychecks once in every two weeks. In a year there are 52 weeks, therefore, the calculation comes to 26 paychecks per year.

2) You are the manager of Drive Thru Burger. You had only one applicant for the position of cashier during your daily dinner rush. However, Ms. Betty, who applied, is a retired elementary school crossing guard in her late 70's and you are afraid that she will not be able to efficiently move customers through the line during dinner rush. What legal precedent must you defer to?

Answer: (c) 1978 Age Discrimination Act

Explanation: The 1978 Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits an employer, an employment agency or a labor union to discriminate against an employee or a candidate on the basis of his or her age. However, ADEA has certain exceptions. If the employer feels that age is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary for the regular functioning of the business, it may decide not to hire a particular candidate or applicant that does not meet the age criteria.

3) Entry level employees are typically non-exempt, and are compensated based upon a(n) __________ wage.

Answer: (a) Hourly

Explanation: Non-exempt employees are usually paid by the hour for every hour that they work in the employment period. In case they are required to do overtime, they are paid hourly as per the overtime rule of the organization.
