According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers are required to pay overtime at a rate of one-and-a-half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked over forty in a week. This means that the mill would be required to pay the normal hourly wage times 150 percent for all hours worked over forty in a week. Therefore, choice E is the best answer.
