Read the scenario below and determine the technician's total gross earnings for the week.

Cevap:An industrial equipment technician is paid an hourly rate of

\$28.00

for a standard

40

-hour workweek. Any additional hours are compensated at time-and-a-half. Last week, the technician worked a total of

47

hours and also received a flat

\$75.00

emergency call-out fee.

The technician's total gross earnings for that week were

\$【1489】

The technician's total gross earnings for the week are $1,489.

The correct total is calculated by evaluating each component of the technician's compensation separately. The standard pay for the first 40 hours is

1,120. The 7 overtime hours are paid at a time-and-a-half rate of

42 per hour, contributing

294. Adding the standard pay, the overtime pay, and the

75 flat fee results in a total gross earnings of $1,489.

Calculate the pay for the standard 40-hour workweek.

40 \text{ hours} \times \$28.00/\text{hour} = \$1,120.00

The standard hourly wage applies only to the first 40 hours worked.

Determine the overtime pay rate and the number of overtime hours.

Overtime rate =

\$28.00 \times 1.5 = \$42.00

per hour. Overtime hours =

47 - 40 = 7

hours.

Any hours worked beyond the standard 40 hours are paid at the time-and-a-half rate.

Calculate the total overtime pay.

7 \text{ hours} \times \$42.00/\text{hour} = \$294.00

This represents the earnings from the additional 7 hours worked.

Sum the standard pay, overtime pay, and the flat emergency fee to find the total gross earnings.

\$1,120.00 + \$294.00 + \$75.00 = \$1,489.00

Total gross earnings include all forms of compensation before taxes and deductions.

Calculating total gross pay involving a standard hourly wage, time-and-a-half overtime pay, and additional flat fees.
