Psychology

Question one
The duties test requires that employees be considered as exempt or not for overtime payment depending with their level of profession. In this case, psychologists can come in and help the businesses determine the eligibility of their workers. They can do this by classifying the work to be done and hence determine whether the work an employee done can be classified as being professional or executive. After identification of the profession of the worker, it will therefore become possible to determine if they should be given overtime pay or not.

Question two
Workers who are given an overtime pay end up more encouraged than the salaried workers. These workers will not get the feeling of giving too much time to their jobs without getting any compensation. On the other hand salaried workers may be forced to work for more hours than assigned in order to meet their requirements. They are not motivated in any way to work for longer than the required time and can end up getting the feeling of being used. As a result, a worker who is paid on salary basis can end up giving less quality services to their jobs since they are not motivated in any way.

Whether they work for extra hours or not, their salaries would either way remain stagnant and they end up not getting the urge to work for long. On the other hand, overtime paid work can extend their daily working hours giving the business their services and hence end up earning more. This not only motivates the worker but also increases the total output of the business.
