Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

Salaried employees are typically compensated equally each pay period regardless of hours worked. True or False?

1. True

2. False

The correct answer is: True

Salaried employees are typically compensated equally each pay period regardless of the number of hours they work during that period. This means that they receive a fixed amount of pay per pay period, which is not dependent on whether they worked extra hours or less than a standard workweek. Salaried positions often imply an expectation of fulfilling the responsibilities of the role, which can sometimes require working beyond a typical schedule without additional pay. Therefore, the statement is accurate in describing how salaried compensation functions in most employment situations.
