Question

Hi again, I am going to try this again as I still don't have the solution to a payroll question. I need to find the "regular" pay rate and I have the gross pay as 259.87. They worked 25 hours total, and 3 overtime. Again, I need the regular pay rate. The answer should be 9.81, but for the life of me, I can't find how they got that answer. Thanks in advance for any help;) Denise

Answer 1

What does your book give as the definition of "regular pay rate?" That may be what's holding back the solution. For me, it is, anyway.

Answer 2

Ok, let me look.

Answer 3

Are we given the hourly wage for 1 regular hour?
Are we given the hourly wage for 1 overtime hour?

Answer 4

I don't see anything on that? Wouldn't it be the hours that are not ot? They worked 3 days, 10 hours one, 6 hours next and 9 hours last day.

Answer 5

No, that's what's killing me??

Answer 6

I just read a blurb on calculating these wages. Let me think.

Answer 7

sec, I'll post the problem from my homework page.

Answer 8

Is there a standard percentage or way to calculate overtime rates from regular rates? I don't know the law on this.

Answer 9

Time and a half for overtime. That helps.

Answer 10

1.5 or 1 and a half time? Is that what you need?

Answer 11

Time and a half.

Answer 12
