![Note: In this chapter and in all succeeding work throughout the course, unless instructed otherwise, calculate hourly rates and overtime rates as
follows:
1. Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate
to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate).
2.
If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent.
3.
If the third decimal place is less than 5, simply drop the third decimal place.
Examples: Monthly rate $1,827
Weekly rate ($1,827 x 12)/52 = $421.615 rounded to $421.62
Hourly rate $421.62/40 = $10.540 rounded to $10.54
O.T. rate $10.54 x 1.5 = $15.81
Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow.
Example 2-9
John Dilcher is paid an hourly rate of $18.50 per hour, and he worked 49 hours this week. His gross pay is:
40 hours x $18.50
= $740.00 regular earnings
9 hours x $27.75 ($18.50 x 1.5) =
249.75 overtime earnings
Total gross pay
$989.75
