if [ hours_worked -le 40 ] ; then
(rate*hours_worked)+ bonus_pay
elif [$hours_worked -gt 40 ] && [$hours_worked -le 54] ; then
((rate*40)+((rate*2)*(hours_worked-40)+ bonus_pay)) && (rate*hours_worked)+ bonus_pay
else
((rate*40)+((rate*2)*14)+((rate*3)*(hours_worked-54)+ bonus_pay))

For this type of problem, you may want to consider starting with the largest comparison first and working your way down to the smallest.

Your else if code has a "&&" in it.  What are you comparing?  "&&"  is the logical and operator used like:

if [[ $THIS && THAT ]]
then

In BASH, when you want to use the value of a variable, the variable needs to be referred to as $VARIABLE_NAME.  You need the '$'.

Variables in BASH are held as strings.  All math operations require the double parenthesis.
