Case Study Is the FLSA a Dinosaur?:

1.Does the 40-hour workweek still make sense? Would you recommend changing to a "pay period' calculation for overtime? For example, if a company pays workers every two weeks, should hours over 80 in a pay period be used to determine over time rather than 40 in a work week?

2.How should nonexempt workers track their time spent away from work doing tasks such as responding to email or text messages?

3.Would you recommend that private-sector employees be permitted to offer nonexempt employees compensatory time off rather than pay for overtime hours worked?
