    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    When faced with potential overtime issues, it is important to analyze staffing levels and manpower planning. This means evaluating the number of employees available and their ability to handle the workload without exceeding regular working hours. By doing so, organizations can identify any gaps in resources and make necessary adjustments to prevent or manage overtime situations effectively. Therefore, the statement "When confronted with potential overtime issues, you should look at staffing levels and manpower planning" is true.

    The higher the sales, typically the lower the labor percentage.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that there is an inverse relationship between sales and labor percentage. This means that as sales increase, the labor percentage tends to decrease. This could be because as sales increase, the company may be able to spread its fixed labor costs over a larger revenue base, resulting in a lower labor percentage.

    It is standard to schedule for overtime hours during any week.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because it is not standard to schedule for overtime hours during any week. Overtime hours are typically scheduled when there is a need for additional work beyond the normal working hours, such as during busy periods or when there is a backlog of work. Scheduling for overtime hours every week would indicate a consistent need for extra work, which is not standard practice in most industries.

    Explanation
    The given statement is true. The formula for calculating labor productivity is BOH (Back of House) hours worked divided by food sales without nonalcoholic beverage.

The I-9 form is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States, and it is subject to specific retention and privacy requirements. Therefore, it is typically kept separate from the Employee Personnel File to ensure the security and privacy of the employee's information.
