Question

for the fourth week of November, Alice Reed worked 52.75 hours. Alice earns $13.20 an hour. Her employer pays overtime for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week and pays 1.5 times the hourly rate for overtime hours. calculate the following for the fourth week of November ( round your responses to the nearest cent if necessary): Regular pay amounts overtime pay, Gross pay.

Answer 1

1) Gathering the data

Alice Reed worked 52.75 hours $13.20 an hour

h > 40 hours per week = 1.5 h

2) Let's calculate then

52.75 hours in the 4th week

52.75 -40 = 12.75 overtime hours due

40 hours x $13.20 = $528

Multiply them to get to know how much her regular hours are worth

12.75 overtime hours x 1.5x13.20 =$252.45

Since her boss pays 1.5 times the hourly rate we can multiply that as well.

3) So the answers are:

Regular pay: $528 (40 h)

Overtime Pay: $252. 45 for 12 3/4 overtime hours

Gross Pay: $780.45 T

The sum of all earnings before taxes, and deductions of any kind.
