Overtime and Premium Shift Pay
Sometimes employees have to work extra hours in addition to their regular hours. Overtime usually begins when they work more than 40 hours in one week. Overtime pay must be at least 1.5 times the employee's
regular rate of pay.
When employee's work shifts that are undesirable to most people, i.e. overnights, they receive extra amount of money per hour for these shifts.

Feb 139:50 PM Calculating Gross Wages
Recall that there are 52 weeks in one year. Therefore, someone gets paid 52 times in one year if they get paid weekly, they get payed 26 times in one year if they get paid bi-weekly, or they get paid 12 times in one year if they get paid monthly.
We are going to look at hourly gross pay (rate X hours worked) and salaried gross pay (set amount).

When given the hourly rate and the number of hours worked, you calculate the gross pay by multiplying the rate of pay by the total number of hours worked. This is usually for a one week or a two week period.
Ex. An employee works 20 hours a week at $12/hour. If they are paid weekly, what is the gross pay for the week? What would be the gross pay if they get paid bi-weekly?

For employees that earn a salary, we calculate the gross pay by taking the salary and dividing it by however many pay periods there are in a year. This would depend on when the employee gets paid, either weekly (52 pay periods), bi-weekly (26 pay periods), semi-monthly (24 pay periods), or monthly (12 pay periods).
Ex. If an employee's annual salary is $30 000 and they are paid bi-weekly, what is their gross pay?
