Employees at Pete's Packaging earn time-and-a-half pay for all hours worked beyond 40 hours.
Last week an employee worked a total of 44.5 hours. How much overtime pay did the employee
earn if his regular pay rate is $12.28 per hour?
You have to start I figuring out how much overtime pay is per hour. Time and a half pay on $12.28 is $18.42. Working a total of 44.5 hours means that 4.5 hours for overtime. $18.42 x 4.5= $82.89 overtime pay.
