Applicants to Maryland Police Department find 2nd Grade Level Math Difficult

[Keo]

Didn't know it was this easy to become a police officer in America

How long did it take him to arrive to the site then. and remember they CALLED him he didnt go anywhere and is he being paid to drive to the site? Doesnt he have to drive there then report his presence so the clock can resume?

Abowe, the question is only asking about the shift and how long he was working overtime. It doesn’t specify when he arrived or when he got the call or when he clocked in or out, you have to assume that overtime starts immediately after the shift ends, it’s a simple maths question. No one’s gonna karbaash you for admitting you got it wrong. I’d just advise you to read over the question.

The question makes it clear that the crime he was called out to took place within his shift, it’s just that he remained there for a long time after his shift ended, the question doesn’t specify “how long it took to get there” or “when did he clock in or out to inform that he was on overtime” because most of the time overtime pay starts immediately after your shift ends but you’re still working.

Bring me proof that maryland police department employees are paid for driving to a site.

Now change your vote to C

Does an employee at Walmart not get paid when walking from a task to the next task? Does an office worker not get paid while they close the excel sheet they were working on to move onto Zoom for a meeting?

Can’t tell if you’re serious

Police departments have different policies regarding to on/off the clock time, but the difference on regards how the police officers clock in and out. Some do it over radio, some have to physically clock in at a station, others electronically and others are considered clocked in as soon as they pull off from their drive way.

Those variables are needed to solve the question. also just like what you said we can ASSUME he took time to get to the site we can ASSUME that he doesnt get paid for commuting to the site thus the most logical answer is C bur you can also choose D but C is better.

They are in a workplace in a controlled environment its silly to assume the same thing of a cop

Exactly but they dont state that variable so we can ASSUME anyone of those procedures you listed is what the maryland police department adheres to.

Do we know if he is getting paid for commuting to the site? Every workplace has varying policies and procedures regarding overtime so yes we can assume he is still getting paid while commuting to the accident but we can do vice versa for him taking time to get there.
