Question

In a week, Sean worked 40 regular hours, 10 hours at time and a half rate and 5 hours at double time rate. Sean’s regular pay rate is 15.75

Answer 1

The total amount earned for the week is 1023.75

Using the Parameters given for our Calculation;

• Regular pay = 15.75
• Time and half pay = 15.75 × 1.5 = 23.625
• Double pay = 15.75 × 2 = 31.5

Total earning:

Regular rate :

• 40 * 15.75 = 630

Time and half rate :

• 10 * 23.625 = 236.25

Double rate :

• 5 * 31.5 = 157.5

Adding all :

630 + 157.5 + 236.25 = 1023.75

Hence, Total amount earned for the week is 1023.75
