WorkKeys Reading for Information 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Attendance bonuses go to employees with zero unexcused absences; 1 late arrival = 0.5 unexcused absences. An employee has 2 late arrivals in Q1. Do they receive the bonus?
- Yes, late arrivals do not count
- No, 2 late arrivals equal 1 unexcused absence (Correct answer)
- Yes, if the supervisor approves
- No, only perfect attendance qualifies
Correct answer: No, 2 late arrivals equal 1 unexcused absence
2 × 0.5 = 1 full unexcused absence, disqualifying the employee.
Question 2: Policy allows carrying forward a maximum of 5 unused vacation days. An employee has 9 unused days on December 30. How many will be forfeited?
- 3 days
- 4 days (Correct answer)
- 5 days
- 9 days
Correct answer: 4 days
9 - 5 = 4 days forfeited.

Correct answer: 333 mL
Solution A = (2/3) × 500 = 333 mL.
Question 4: A notice states: repairs over $500 require a second technician to co-sign the maintenance log. A repair costs $650. What must happen?
- File within one hour
- A second technician must co-sign the log (Correct answer)

Correct answer: A second technician must co-sign the log
$650 > $500, so a second technician must verify and co-sign the log.

- No, salaried managers are typically Exempt (Correct answer)
- Yes, all employees get overtime beyond 40 hours
- No, unless pre-approved
Correct answer: No, salaried managers are typically Exempt
Salaried managers are typically Exempt. The document states Exempt employees receive no overtime.

- Palletize only
- Double-box, label all 6 sides, and palletize (Correct answer)
