You are in charge of financial services and must calculate overtime pay for employees in your division. Due to a heavy workload, an employee had to do 35 hours of overtime in two weeks. Seven of these hours are at "double time" (i.e. twice usual pay), the rest are at "time-and-a-half". The employee's usual pay is $375 a week at $10 an hour. How much overtime money should the employee be paid for the two week period?

Answer:

$2,100

Step-by-step explanation:

'regular' pay is 375/10 or $37.50 per hour

'time-and-a-half' would be 37.50 + 18.75 = $56.25 per hour

'double time' would be (2)37.50 = $75.00

35 hours in 2 weeks and 7 hours at 'double time' and 28 at 'time-and-a-half'

so:

(7)75 + (28)56.25 = 525 + 1575

Total overtime pay for 2-week period is $2,100
