Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × 1.5)

Worked Example
Let's calculate a weekly time card for an employee with these details:
- Hourly Rate: $20/hour
- Overtime Threshold: 40 hours/week
- Hours Worked:
- Monday: 8 hours
- Tuesday: 8 hours
- Wednesday: 8 hours
- Thursday: 8 hours
- Friday: 8 hours
- Saturday: 0 hours
- Sunday: 0 hours
Total Hours: 40 hours (no overtime)
Regular Pay: 40 × $20 = $800
Overtime Pay: $0 (since no hours exceed 40)
Total Earnings: $800
Note
If any day exceeds the overtime threshold, the excess hours will be calculated at 1.5 times the hourly rate.
