Question

.In a factory all employees work a basic week of 38 hours. Any overtime worked during weekdays is paid for at time-and-a-half. Overtime worked on Saturday is paid for at double-time, whilst on Sunday it is paid for at triple time. If the basic rate is $8.96 per hour, find the gross wage of a man who worked 15 hours overtime from Monday to Friday, 3 hours overtime on Saturday and 2 hours overtime on Sunday

Answer 1

1. reg pay: 8.96,week days: 1.5 overtime pay, sat: double pay, sun: triple pay

38 hrs regular pay : 38 * 8.96 = 340.48

15 hrs overtime during week : 15 * 1.5(8.96) = 15 * 13.44 = 201.60

3 hrs overtime on saturday: 3 * 2(8.96) = 3 * 17.92 = 53.76

2 hrs overtime on sunday: 2 * 3(8.96) = 2 * 26.88 = 53.76

Gross wage = (340.48 + 201.60 + 2(53.76) = 649.60 <====

Hope this helps!
