Jorge will receive 9 hours in time off from work.

How many hours will Jorge get to take time off?

It is given that, Jorge has done overtime for 6 hours in this week. As per the Fair Labor Standards Act, for 6 hours of overtime work, he must be paid one and a half times the pay he gets per hour.

Instead of receiving an overtime pay for working 6 hours extra, Jorge decides to receive paid leaves from work, that is, he will get one and a half of the total hours for which he worked overtime.

As a result, the time off he receives from work = [tex]1\frac{1}{2} (6)[/tex] hours

[tex]=\frac{3}{2}(6) = 9 hours[/tex]

Thus, Jorge gets 9 hours in time off from work in return. The time that he earns for the overtime is equivalent to the pay he was supposed to receive for the overtime work.

What is Fair Labor Standards Act?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) specifies standards for minimum wage, over-time compensation, recordkeeping, and youth employment that are applicable to workers in the private sector and in federal, state, and municipal governments.
