Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) — Question 87

Kari works 40 hours per week at Rocky Mountain Radiology Associates, which pays time- and-a-half for overtime and double-time for holidays. During the past week, Kari took 6 hours of unpaid personal leave, and worked an 8-hour holiday. How many hours will Kari be paid for?

Answer options

• A. 34
• B. 50
• C. 42
• D. 48

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Kari's regular hours are reduced by the 6 hours of unpaid leave, leaving her with 34 hours. However, the 8 hours of holiday work will be compensated at double time, effectively adding 8 hours to her pay, resulting in a total of 42 hours. The other options do not accurately reflect the correct calculation of Kari's hours worked and paid.
