    D) not in conformance with the Fair Labor Standards Act because Xeon is obligated to pay no less than 1.5 times Kera's regular pay for hours she worked over forty in one week.

    Explanation:

    The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the federal minimum wage, overtime pay, and other regulation regarding child labor, hours worked and recordkeeping.

    The federal minimum wage was set at $7.25 per hour starting July 24, 2009.

    Overtime work is defined as any work that exceeds the 40 hour per week limit, and it should be paid at 1.5 times the regular pay rate.
