True
B

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Overtime pay policies vary between companies, time and a half being a common rate. It simply means that in addition to the employee’s standard hourly rate, they will get paid an additional one half of that rate for each hour worked in the time and a half window.

Detailed explanation-2: -The federal overtime provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the FLSA, the formula for calculating overtime pay is the nonexempt employee’s regular rate of pay x 1.5 x overtime hours worked.

Detailed explanation-4: -Modern awards that provide for overtime require overtime to be paid: At 150% (time and a half) of an employee’s ordinary time hourly rate for the first two or three hours of overtime worked. At 200% (double time) of an employee’s ordinary time hourly rate after the two or three hours of overtime worked.

Detailed explanation-5: -Overtime payments are commonly called the overtime premium or the overtime rate of pay. The most usual rate for overtime hours is time and a half, and that is 50% more than the employee’s standard wage. It means that for every hour of overtime, you receive an equivalent of 1.5 the regular hourly rate.
