On what date did the minimum hours requirement for extra-duty employment become effective?

• A. January 1, 2015
• B. February 1, 2016
• C. March 1, 2017
• D. December 31, 2016

Answer: (B)

The question tests your recall of when the minimum hours rule for extra-duty work became enforceable. An effective date is the point at which a policy starts to apply to cases going forward. For this rule, the date the requirement took effect is February 1, 2016, meaning anything after that date must follow the minimum hours rule. Dates before would not have the rule in place, and dates after simply occur later than the implementation date. So February 1, 2016 is the date the requirement began to apply.
