Formula Used
Overtime Pay Calculation
Overtime pay is calculated as:
Overtime Pay = Hourly Wage × Overtime Hours × 1.5
Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
This formula follows Ontario's overtime pay requirements for employees who work more than 8 hours in a day or more than 44 hours in a week.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Daily Overtime
An employee earns $20 per hour and works 10 hours in a day.
Overtime hours = 10 - 8 = 2 hours
Overtime pay = $20 × 2 × 1.5 = $60
Total earnings = ($20 × 8) + $60 = $160 + $60 = $220
Example 2: Weekly Overtime
An employee earns $18 per hour and works 48 hours in a week.
Overtime hours = 48 - 44 = 4 hours
Overtime pay = $18 × 4 × 1.5 = $108
Total earnings = ($18 × 44) + $108 = $792 + $108 = $900
