CSPA CSPA Document Use Skills Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A work schedule uses shading to distinguish day shifts from night shifts. An employee's row is fully shaded for Wednesday. What should the employee conclude?
- Wednesday is a holiday
- The employee works the night shift on Wednesday (Correct answer)
- The schedule is incomplete for Wednesday
- The employee has the day off on Wednesday
Correct answer: The employee works the night shift on Wednesday
Shading in the schedule legend indicates the night shift, so a fully shaded cell means a night-shift assignment.
Question 2: An invoice has a column labeled 'QTY,' another labeled 'DESC,' and another labeled 'EXT.' What does 'EXT' most likely stand for?
- External
- Extra
- Extended price (Correct answer)
- Expiration
Correct answer: Extended price
On invoices, 'EXT' stands for extended price, which is the quantity multiplied by the unit price.
Question 3: A material safety data sheet (MSDS) lists a chemical's flash point as 23°C. What does the flash point tell a worker?
- The temperature at which the chemical boils
- The lowest temperature at which the chemical can ignite (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The lowest temperature at which the chemical can ignite
Flash point is the lowest temperature at which a substance's vapors can ignite when exposed to an ignition source.
Question 4: A benefits enrollment form has two sections: 'Employee Only' and 'Employee + Dependents.' An employee with two children should complete which section?
- Employee Only
- Employee + Dependents (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Employee + Dependents
Children are dependents, so an employee with children should select the 'Employee + Dependents' coverage option.
Question 5: A time sheet requires the employee to record 'Clock In,' 'Lunch Out,' 'Lunch In,' and 'Clock Out' times. Why does it include both Lunch Out and Lunch In?

Correct answer: To calculate total paid work hours excluding the unpaid lunch break
Recording both lunch-out and lunch-in times allows the payroll system to subtract unpaid break time from total hours.
