Question

Mr. Norel has to work for a minimum of 44 hours per week before he is entitled to any overtime pay
He worked for 288 hours this month (4 complete weeks).
His regular rate of payment is $9 per hour.
For overtime, he is paid 1.25 times his regular rate.
How much did Mr. Norel earn this month?

Answer 1

Answer:

$5832

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Mr. Norel is entitled to overtime pay for the month,

$\frac{288}{4}$ = 72 hours

Thus, Mr. Norel is entitled to overtime pay because he worked 72 hours per week.

His total regular pay = $9 x 288

                                  = $2592

His overtime pay = 1.25 x $2592

                            = $3240

Total pay = regular pay + overtime pay

               = $2592 + $3240

               = $5832

Therefore, Mr. Norel's earning for the month is $5832.
