Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Under Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) rounding rules, employers may round employee time to the nearest 15-minute increment using the 7-minute rule:
If an employee clocks in before the 7-minute mark, round down.
If an employee clocks in after the 7-minute mark, round up.
Employee's actual times:
Clock in: 8:07 a.m. → Rounded down to 8:00 a.m.
Clock out: 4:08 p.m. → Rounded up to 4:15 p.m.
Thus, the correct answer is D. 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m..
