Explanation of Solution
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) makes it mandatory for the employer to provide over-time pay to those employees who happen to work over forty hours in a week. The over-time pay is 1.5 times his or her regular pay. In the above case, the person RS was giving ninety-percent of the work time to sales of AW who is an outside salesperson. FLSA states that administrative, executive, and professional employees along with outside salespeople are exempted from FLSA’s overtime provision. Executive and administrative employees are those who exercise discretion and have independent judgment. The person RS is an administrative employee who will be relieved from FLSA's overtime provisions.
