Explanation: The Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968 made it illegal to discharge an employee after only one garnishment order. This provision is to be enforced by the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor. The section of the Consumer Credit Protection Act that deals with wage garnishment is Title III.

Explanation: The United States Patent Act does not recognize structure patents. The three types of patents recognized in the United States are design, utility, and plant. A design pattern, which may last no more than 14 years, protects original manufacturing designs. A utility patent, which may last no more than 20 years, protects original processes, machines, and material constructions. A plant patent, which may last no more than 20 years, protects original, asexually reproduced plant varieties.

Explanation: A person must be at least 18 years old to take a job that has been designated hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. The Fair Labor Standards Act instituted a number of policies to prevent the exploitation of children. The only hazardous jobs children younger than 18 may be allowed to perform are related to farming.

Explanation: If the leave is foreseeable but the employee fails to provide his employer with appropriate advance notice, the employer may delay FMLA coverage for 30 days. The employer may, of course, delay coverage for less than 30 days-so 15 days is an option-but the employer has a full 30 days. The employer may not, however, delay coverage beyond this, so 45 days or 60 days is far too long.

Explanation: Risk is defined as Probability x Consequences. In other words, a business must multiply the odds of something occurring by the results of that occurrence. The occurrence itself is a part of the process that leads to consequences, but it is not a direct element within the standard risk formula. The result of this formula enables a business to employ prevention or avoidance options.
