Drifting Co. is an interstate business engaged in manufacturing and selling boats. The company has five hundred nonunion employees. Representatives of these employees are requesting a four-day, ten-hours-per-day workweek, and Drifting is concerned that this would require paying time and a half after eight hours per day.

Which federal act is Drifting thinking of that might require this?

Will the act in fact require paying time and a half for all hours worked over eight hours per day if the employees' proposal is accepted?

Explain. (See Wages, Hours, Layoffs, and Leave.)
