The company needs to pay the directors for their extra working hours after the forty hours per week performed by them. The Florida administrative code determines that the directors are eligible for the compensation because they have invested a considerable amount of time and efforts for the company. Therefore, the company is liable to pay the compensatory amount for the extra working hours perfromed by the dierctors in which they have worked for the betterment and development of the company and its procedures. The company should pay the compensatory amount to the excluded career service employees based on the calculation method of half the rate of the regular salary amount.
