Question: 1 / 400

What triggers overtime pay under the 8/80 Rule?

Anything over 8 hours in a week

Anything over 8 hours in a day or 80 hours in a 14-day period

The 8/80 Rule, also known as the "overtime threshold", states that any employees who work more than 8 hours in a single day or exceed 80 hours in a 14-day period are eligible for overtime pay. This means that option A is incorrect because under the 8/80 Rule, overtime is not triggered by working more than 8 hours in a week, but rather in a single day. Similarly, option D is incorrect because it refers to exceeding 80 hours in a month, which is not part of the 8/80 Rule criteria. Additionally, option C is incorrect because while working on weekends may result in overtime pay depending on the company's policies, it is not a requirement under the 8/80 Rule. Only option B accurately reflects the conditions for triggering overtime pay under the 8/80 Rule.
