B) To require employers with 100 or more employees to provide 60 days' advance notice of plant closings or mass layoffs.

C) To protect employees from discrimination based on age during downsizing.

D) To ensure continued health insurance coverage for terminated workers.

E) To mandate employer-paid retraining programs for displaced factory workers.

F) To provide extended unemployment benefits for large-scale company closures.

Correct Answer: B

Detailed Explanation:

Option B is correct: The core purpose of the WARN Act is to protect workers, their families, and communities by requiring most employers with 100 or more employees to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs.

Option C is incorrect: Protecting employees from age discrimination during a layoff falls under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), not the WARN Act.

Option D is incorrect: The continuation of health insurance coverage after termination is governed by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA).

Option E is incorrect: While the act has "Retraining" in its name, it does not force employers to pay for retraining; it simply gives workers time to seek retraining through state or federal programs before losing their jobs.

Option F is incorrect: Unemployment benefits are administered at the state level under the Federal-State Unemployment Insurance Program, independent of WARN Act compliance.

B) The employee must be guaranteed payment of an hourly wage above the federal minimum.

C) The employee's primary duty must consist of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer.

D) The employee must have the definitive authority to hire, fire, and promote subordinates.

E) The employee must possess advanced knowledge in a field of science or learning acquired by prolonged instruction.

F) The employee must spend at least 50% of the workweek traveling for business purposes.

Correct Answer: C

Detailed Explanation:

Option B is incorrect: Exempt employees must be paid on a salary or fee basis, not an hourly wage, and it must meet a specific minimum threshold.

Option C is correct: To qualify for the administrative employee exemption, the FLSA states the employee's primary duty must be the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or the employer's customers.

Option D is incorrect: The authority to hire, fire, or promote is a key test for the executive exemption, not the administrative exemption.

Option E is incorrect: Advanced scientific or specialized learning is the primary requirement for the professional exemption.

Option F is incorrect: Travel time is not a determining factor for exempt status under the administrative duties test.

B) Forcing employees to include their employee ID numbers to track individual responses.

C) Guaranteeing the anonymity and confidentiality of all respondents.

D) Distributing the survey exclusively via mobile text messages.

E) Offering a significant, immediate cash bonus for completing the survey.

F) Restricting the survey strictly to senior management to test the corporate climate.

Correct Answer: C

Detailed Explanation:

Option B is incorrect: Forcing identification eliminates psychological safety. Employees will likely skew their answers positively out of fear of retaliation.

Option C is correct: Guaranteeing anonymity is the cornerstone of effective engagement surveys. When employees trust that their honest feedback cannot be traced back to them, they are more likely to participate and provide the candid insights needed to improve the workplace.

Option D is incorrect: While mobile distribution is a good accessibility tool, making it the exclusive method alienates employees who may prefer or only have access to desktop computers.

Option E is incorrect: While small incentives can boost participation, a "significant cash bonus" can skew data, as employees may rush through the survey just to get the reward, rather than providing thoughtful feedback.

Option F is incorrect: An employee engagement survey must capture the voice of the broader workforce, not just a small subset of leadership, to yield actionable, company-wide results.
