Before you start a new 14 day cycle, it is compulsory for you to have how many consecutive hours off duty?

  1. 24 hours

  2. 48 hours

  3. 72 hours

  4. 96 hours

The correct answer is: 72 hours

Before starting a new 14 day cycle, it is mandatory to have at least 72 hours off duty. This is because an employee's work schedule must allow for a minimum of 24 consecutive hours off duty before starting a new week of work, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Option A and B do not meet this requirement, as they only allow for 24 or 48 hours off duty respectively. Option D of 96 hours is not directly related to the minimum off-duty requirement for the start of a new 14 day cycle. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it meets both the minimum off-duty requirement and the specific requirement for a new 14 day cycle.
