    Sally and Mike have been employed at the same facility for the same amount of time.  Mike is making $10,000 more per year than Sally.  Which Federal Labor Law is the stated facility in violation of?

    • Equal Pay Act of 1963

    • Fair Credit Reporting Act

    Correct Answer
    A. Equal Pay Act of 1963
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Equal Pay Act of 1963. This law prohibits pay discrimination based on gender, stating that men and women who perform equal work should receive equal pay. In this scenario, Sally and Mike have been employed for the same amount of time but Mike is making $10,000 more per year than Sally, suggesting a violation of the Equal Pay Act.

    Which of the following is a way to become a better interviewer?

    • Research the facility

    • Research the interviewers

    • Clean up

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Researching the facility and interviewers before an interview can help the candidate to be better prepared and knowledgeable about the company and the people they will be interacting with. This can help them to ask relevant questions and show genuine interest in the position. Additionally, cleaning up before the interview, both physically and mentally, can help the candidate to present themselves in a professional and confident manner, which can leave a positive impression on the interviewer. Therefore, all of these actions can contribute to becoming a better interviewer.

    • What was the nature of your previous job?

    • How many children do you have?

    • What do you know about the facility?

    Correct Answer
    A. How many children do you have?
    Explanation
    Asking about the number of children someone has in an interview is considered illegal and discriminatory. This question is not relevant to the job requirements and can lead to bias and discrimination based on family status. It is important to focus on the candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience rather than personal and protected information.

    The Federal Labor Standards Act of 1938 covers all of the mentioned aspects, including minimum wage, overtime, child labor, and exemption status.

    PGA members must work at a golf course to maintain membership

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because PGA members do not have to work at a golf course to maintain their membership. PGA membership is based on meeting certain criteria such as completing a series of educational courses, passing a playing ability test, and meeting specific employment requirements, but it does not require working at a golf course.

    If you are not offered a second interview, you should ask the interviewer for a second interview.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Asking for a second interview when you were not offered one is not appropriate or professional. It may come across as pushy or desperate, and could potentially harm your chances of being considered for the position. It is best to wait for the interviewer to reach out to you if they are interested in moving forward with a second interview.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The goal of a resume is indeed to get an interview. A resume is a document that provides a summary of an individual's skills, qualifications, and experiences. Its purpose is to showcase the candidate's suitability for a job position and to persuade the employer to invite them for an interview. A well-written and tailored resume increases the chances of getting noticed by employers and ultimately leads to the opportunity of securing an interview.

    • Contemporary

    Correct Answer
    A. Contemporary

  • 11. 

    The Americans with disabilities act also protects employees who have had illegal substance abuse problems?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not protect employees who have had illegal substance abuse problems. The ADA does protect individuals with disabilities, but it specifically excludes individuals who are currently engaging in illegal drug use. However, it does protect individuals who have successfully completed a rehabilitation program and are no longer using illegal drugs. Therefore, the statement that the ADA protects employees who have had illegal substance abuse problems is false.

    Alaska exceeds the federal minimum wage standard?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Alaska exceeds the federal minimum wage standard because it has set its own minimum wage rate, which is higher than the federal minimum wage. This means that employers in Alaska are required to pay their employees at least the state minimum wage, which is higher than the federal minimum wage.

  • 13. 

    The Civil Rights Act of 1991 allows for compensatory and punitive damages?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Civil Rights Act of 1991 allows for compensatory and punitive damages. This means that individuals who have experienced discrimination can seek financial compensation for the harm they have suffered. Compensatory damages aim to reimburse the victim for any actual losses they have experienced, such as lost wages or medical expenses. Punitive damages, on the other hand, are intended to punish the offender and deter others from engaging in similar discriminatory behavior. This provision in the Civil Rights Act of 1991 helps to ensure that victims of discrimination have a legal recourse and can be appropriately compensated for the harm they have endured.

  • 14. 

    Age discrimination in employment act prohibits employers from discriminating against workers who are?

    • Over 70

    • Under 40

    • Between 40 and 70

    Correct Answer
    A. Between 40 and 70
    Explanation
    The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law that protects workers who are between the ages of 40 and 70 from age discrimination in the workplace. This means that employers are prohibited from making employment decisions based on an individual's age within this age range. Therefore, the correct answer is "Between 40 and 70."

    Hard dollars are easier to negotiate than fringe benefits.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement implies that it is easier to negotiate hard dollars (i.e., cash or monetary compensation) compared to fringe benefits (i.e., non-monetary benefits such as health insurance or vacation days). However, this statement is false. Negotiating fringe benefits can often be easier as they are more flexible and can be tailored to individual preferences. Additionally, fringe benefits can sometimes be more valuable than hard dollars, as they can provide long-term security and work-life balance.

    When networking on the telephone, which of the following should never be asked for?

    • Information about the facility

    • Names of decision makers

    • The job itself

    • What time it is

    Correct Answer
    A. The job itself
    Explanation
    When networking on the telephone, it is not appropriate to ask for information about the job itself. This is because the purpose of networking is to build relationships and gather information about the industry or company, not to directly inquire about job opportunities. Asking for information about the job itself may come across as too forward or pushy, and it is better to focus on gathering general information and making connections.
