What is the weekly threshold for overtime pay based on hours worked?

40 hours
50 hours
60 hours
70 hours

The correct answer is: 50 hours

The correct answer is based on the established standard in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which specifies that workers are entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. This means that once an employee accumulates more than 40 hours in a week, they should be compensated at a rate of at least one and a half times their regular hourly wage for those additional hours. Understanding this threshold is crucial for employers and employees in the agricultural sector, as it helps ensure compliance with labor laws and fair treatment of workers. The options suggesting higher thresholds fail to reflect the foundational rule of the 40-hour workweek, which is the benchmark for determining overtime eligibility.
