Accepts a full-time marketing position with Wheels-to-Go. In her orientation, she learns that she is required to clock in when she gets to the office, just like all the other workers. She is surprised, because she is being paid a yearly salary instead of an hourly rate. Stan, her manager; tells her not to worry about it — just to do it because it is company policy and to fit in, but they will never dock her salary for being just a little bit late. Stan tells Candace the company will only dock her salary if she is two hours late or more, so not to worry. What would you advise Wheels-to-Go about their clocking-in policy? a. This is a good policy because it makes the hourly workers and the salaried workers feel more equal (since everyone is clocking in and out) and encouraged by the FLSA b. This is a good policy because it signals to all workers how important it is to be on time for work (consistent with the FLSA) c. This is a risky policy because it may jeopardize Candace's exempt status (under the FLSA) d. This would have been a risky policy (under the FLSA) but if it is company policy across the board for all workers, it will not jeopardize Candace's exempt status (under the FLSA) e. This is a risky policy because it treats exempt workers differently from non- exempt workers and that could be illegal discrimination 17.
