What am I missing?
I believe the Department of Labor provides the formulas that FedEx uses. These notional hours normalize our work patterns against the notional 9-5 office worker.
This conversion standard of 95 hours per pay period has implications in classifying if one is a full time employee; it also is used in workman's comp calculations.
There are a lot of federal and state laws that are written in regards to typical work weeks and this conversion factor ties in our non-traditional work patterns.
