What payroll concept relates to hours worked and retention?

Minimum Wage
Overtime Pay
Child Labor
Exempt from OAR

The correct answer is: Child Labor

The correct choice focuses on the concept of child labor, which is closely associated with regulations around hours worked, especially for minors. In the context of payroll, child labor laws dictate the maximum number of hours that individuals under a certain age can work, as well as the types of work they are allowed to perform. These laws aim to protect young workers from exploitation and to ensure that their work does not interfere with their education. In relation to retention, if a business is not compliant with child labor laws, it could face penalties or even lose the ability to retain young workers. This compliance is essential not just for the reputation of the business but also for legal and ethical standards. Minimum wage, overtime pay, and exemptions from OAR (Overtime, Age, and Retention) laws do relate to the wider framework of payroll compliance but do not directly connect to the specific protections and limitations surrounding the employment of minors and the hours they can work. Thus, the emphasis on child labor laws aligns directly with the inquiries regarding both hours worked and retention.
