overtime rate for time and a half...
12.24/2 + 12.24 = time and a half overtime rate
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
any questions ?
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
what you do is take your regular time and then add half of your regular time-- time and a half.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no....the answer is $ 18.36
you regular time is what you normally get paid per hour
so, time and a half would be regular pay + half of your regular pay (time and a half)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh what am I saying you are right sorry.. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so first you divide 12.24 by 2?
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
understand ? Lets say you normally get paid $10 per hour. You get time and a half for overtime. You would get paid 10.00 + 5.00 = 15.00 per hour
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
it is your regular pay + half of your regular pay

yes....divide 12.24 by 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so yo you would split 12.24 in half?
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
yes....then add that back to 12.24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok so then you would get $6,12
12.24 plus 6.12 is $18.36
Thank you! :)
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
