How it’s solved
Worked on the example above, step by step — follow along and you can do it on paper next time, no tool required.
- Overtime hours pay a multiple of the base rate; add that to regular pay for the gross.
- Overtime pay = rate × multiplier × OT hours
$22.00 × 1.5 × 6 = $198.00 - Gross = rate × regular hours + overtime pay
$22.00 × 40 + $198.00 = $1,078.00
