Question

which of the following is true of hourly employees? they are paid an annual salary. they typically do not receive benefits. they are always ineligible for overtime pay.

Explanation:

• Analyze the first option: Hourly employees are paid by the hour, not an annual salary (salaried employees get annual salaries), so this is false.
• Analyze the second option: Hourly employees, especially part - time or some low - level positions, often do not receive benefits like health insurance, paid time off as comprehensively as salaried employees. This is a common characteristic.
• Analyze the third option: Hourly non - exempt employees are eligible for overtime pay (for hours worked beyond 40 in a week in many cases), so the statement that they are always ineligible is false.

Answer:

B. They typically do not receive benefits.
