Question

Payroll Quiz1 You are working construction on a union site. Your hourly rate of pay is$36.00/hour. Your union assessment per hour is $3.00. If you work 50hours/week- how much is your gross pay after your union dues are paidout?

Answer 1

We can start by calculating the gross hourly rate after the union dues are paid.

If we earn $36 an hour, and the union assessment is $3 per hour, we have a net rate of $33 per hour.

Then, if we work 50 hours per week, we will get:

`50\frac{hours}{\text{week}}\cdot33\frac{\$}{\text{hour}}=1650\frac{\$}{\text{week}}`

The gross pay after your union dues are paid out is $1650 per week.
