The federal requirement for employee break times is:

A:  Fifteen minutes every 2 hours

B:  Fifteen minutes every 3 hours

C:  15 minutes twice daily

D:  0 minutes daily

the answer of course is D   there is no federal requirement and the answer found on their website is:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require breaks or meal periods be given to workers. Some states may have requirements for breaks or meal periods. If you work in a state which does not require breaks or meal periods, these benefits are a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee's representative).

This is an example of keeping in mind the assessment is based on federal requirements but as they mention in their response to the question you also must know your state requirements.

The current hourly minimum wage is:

A:  7.25

B:  8.75

C: 10.25

D: 15.00

answer:  A   that is the current minimum wage per hour

 This is set by the Fair Labor Standards Act or FLSA--

Fair Labor Standards Act

While the FLSA does set the minimum wage for certain workers, it does not, however, require any of the following:

• Severance pay
• Sick leave
• Vacations
• Holidays

The Department of Labor does not have jurisdiction over taxing employee's wages or providing W-2 Form forms to employees. The Internal Revenue Service has authority over these issues.

Every employer covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must keep certain records for each covered, nonexempt worker. There is no required form for the records, but the records must include accurate information about the employee and data about the hours worked and the wages earned. The following is a listing of the basic records that an employer must maintain:

• Employee's full name and social security number;
• Address, including zip code;
• Birth date, if younger than 19;
• Sex and occupation;
• Time and day of week when employee's workweek begins. Hours worked each day and total hours worked each workweek.
• Basis on which employee's wages are paid;
• Regular hourly pay rate;
• Total daily or weekly straight-time earnings;
• Total overtime earnings for the workweek;
• All additions to or deductions from the employee's wages;
• Total wages paid each pay period;
• Date of payment and the pay period covered by the payment.

the FLSA also has requirements on overtime

·         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. There is no limit in the Act on the number of hours employees aged 16 and older may work in any workweek. The Act does not require overtime pay for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest, unless overtime is worked on such days.

·         The Act applies on a workweek basis. An employee's workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours — seven consecutive 24-hour periods. It need not coincide with the calendar week, but may begin on any day and at any hour of the day. Different workweeks may be established for different employees or groups of employees. Averaging of hours over two or more weeks is not permitted. Normally, overtime pay earned in a particular workweek must be paid on the regular pay day for the pay period in which the wages were earned.
