However, a group performing under that name is still touring the country giving concerts. The group would like to stop in Detroit, Michigan, on its current tour. An “oldies” radio station, WDMI, is in charge of making the arrangements. The station has listed activities that must be completed prior to the concert in the table. Times are in weeks.

- state whether or not each situation would be considered “compensable time” (and why or why not). An employee of a fast food chain has to arrive at work 15 minutes early to change into the“mascot” costume and it typically takes another 15 minutes at the end of the shift to change outof the costume and properly store it. Due to the cost of the costume, employees are notallowed to take the costume home. The “mascots” typically work from 10am – 2pm, to coverthe lunch rush periods. How much time would be “compensable” for the mascots, assumingthe conditions/schedule listed above?2) George is a Radiology Technician at a local hospital and when on call, is required to be nofurther than 30 minutes away from the facility.
