Multiply # of hours worked by $ pay per hour l Joe earns $8. 90 per hour and works 26 hours this week, his gross pay is 8. 90 x 26 = $231. 40 l Sue earns $14. 60 per hour and works 22 ½ hours this week, her gross pay is l $14. 60 x 22. 5 = $328. 50

Recording Hours Worked… l Many companies pay people based on a quarter or a tenth of an hour… – – For example…if a company pays based on the quarter or every 15 minutes, you might be docked a quarter hour of pay if you are 3 -4 minutes late.

Then add overtime pay to regular pay.

To calculate gross pay with overtime hours: If the employee works more than 40 hours: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Take 40 x $rate per hour to find regular pay. Calculate OT hours = Take number of hours worked – 40 Calculate OT rate = $rate per hour x 1. 5 Multiply the OT rate x OT hours = OT pay Add OT pay to regular pay = gross pay

Try these… l Tom worked 45 hours and earns $10. 00 an hour. How much is his gross pay for the week? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 40 x $10. 00 = $400 …this is his regular pay 45 – 40 = 5 OT hours $10. 00 x 1. 5 = $15. 00 which is his OT rate $15. 00 x 5 = $75. 00…this is his OT pay His gross pay is $400 + $75. 00 = $475. 00

$ 624. 00 $ 1, 160. 00 Try these… l l l $ 579. 00 Sue worked 48 hours and earns $12. 00 an hour. How much is her gross pay for the week? Joel worked 52 hours and earns $20. 00 an hour.
