Question

Susan Jones, a hotel receptionist earns a regular hourly rate of $12.50. For overtime, she earns time and a half on Saturdays and double time on Sundays. This week she worked her regular 40 hours plus 6 hours on Saturday and 7 hours on Sunday. What is Susan's total pay for the week?

Answer 1

$787.5

Explanation:

Double time(Sundays): double the hourly pay she gets regularly for how many hours she works.12.5x2=$25

25x7=$175

Time and a half(Saturdays): her pay and an addition to half of her regular hourly pay:12.5+6.25=18.75

18.75x6=112.5

Regular pay: She gets a contracted/agreed upon pay given to her per hour: $12.5x40=$500

$500+$175+112.5=$787.50
