Question

Mr. Norel has to work for a minimum of 44 hours per week before he is entitled to any overtime pay

He worked for 288 hours this month (4 complete weeks).
His regular rate of payment is $9 per hour.
For overtime, he is paid 1.25 times his regular rate.
How much did Mr. Norel earn this month?

Answer 1

$5832

Explanation:

To determine if Mr. Norel is entitled to overtime pay for the month,

`(288)/(4)` = 72 hours

Thus, Mr. Norel is entitled to overtime pay because he worked 72 hours per week.

His total regular pay = $9 x 288

= $2592

His overtime pay = 1.25 x $2592

= $3240

Total pay = regular pay + overtime pay

= $2592 + $3240

= $5832

Therefore, Mr. Norel's earning for the month is $5832.
