Answer:

1)One employee may have more deductions than the other employee, such as a larger number of dependents, or may be choosing to pay more of her paycheck into Social Security.

2)Hourly Gross Pay is calculated by multiplying the number of hours worked in the pay period times the hourly pay rate. Overtime pay is also included in the gross pay calculation. Gross pay for salaried employees is calculated by dividing the total annual pay for that employee by the number of pay periods in a year.
