Taxes and Your Paycheck

Calculating Overtime Pay Hourly employees will earn 1 ½ times the hourly rate for overtime hours Overtime hours are typically any hours over the standard 40 hour work week Example: Mary Smith worked a total of 44 hours for a week. Her hourly rate is $5.85 per hour--the overtime gross pay is calculated as: $5.85 per hour x 1.5 = $8.78 x 4 hours = $35.12 ................
