Question

Al works in the warehouse for his company and receives $12.75/hour. He occasionally works in the Quality Assurance (QA) department as a receiving clerk and earns a 15% differential for hours worked there. During a two-week pay period, he worked 72 hours in the warehouse and 12 hours in the QA department. He worked all overtime hours in the warehouse. Standard workweek has 40 hours. What is his gross pay for the pay period?

A) $1,071.00
B) $1,096.50
C) $1,042.95
D) $1,119.45

Answer 1

The answer is D) $1,119.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Summary of pay-rate per hour of AI is as followed:

- Normal working-time at warehouse: $12.75

- Normal working-time at QA: 12.75 x 1.15 = $14.66

- Overtime at warehouse: 12.75 x 1.5 = $19.125

During the two-week pay period, AI has work 84 hours ( 72 +12), in which overtime working is 4 hours ( 84 - 40 x 2) at warehouse.

Thus, total payment to Al is as followed:

Payment from 68 working-hour at warehouse in normal working time + Payment from 12 working-hour at warehouse in normal working time + Payment from 4 working-hour at warehouse in overtime working = 68 x 12.75 + 12 x 14.66 + 4 x 19.125 = $1,119.45
