Worked Examples
Example 1: Hourly Employee
John is an hourly employee who works 50 hours in a week. His regular hourly rate is $20. Calculate his overtime pay.
| Calculation | Value |
|---|---|
| Regular Hours | 44 hours |
| Overtime Hours | 6 hours |
| Overtime Rate | $20 × 1.5 = $30/hour |
| Overtime Pay | $30 × 6 = $180 |
| Regular Pay | $20 × 44 = $880 |
| Total Gross Pay | $880 + $180 = $1,060 |
Example 2: Salaried Employee
Sarah is a salaried employee with a weekly salary of $1,500. She works 50 hours in a week. Calculate her overtime pay.
| Calculation | Value |
|---|---|
| Regular Hours | 44 hours |
| Overtime Hours | 6 hours |
| Hourly Rate | $1,500 ÷ 44 ≈ $34.09/hour |
| Overtime Rate | $34.09 × 1.5 ≈ $51.14/hour |
| Overtime Pay | $51.14 × 6 ≈ $306.84 |
| Total Gross Pay | $1,500 + $306.84 ≈ $1,806.84 |
