EmploymentQuestion 257 of 690
An employee paid $25.00 per hour works the following hours in one workweek: Mon 9, Tue 9, Wed 9, Thu 9, Fri 9 (no day over 12 hours). How many hours of premium overtime (1.5×) does the week generate?
a.0 hours
b.5 hours
c.10 hours
d.45 hours
Explanation
Each day has 1 daily overtime hour (hour 9), totaling 5 overtime hours. The week totals 45 hours, which is 5 hours over 40 — but those same 5 hours are already paid as daily overtime, so they are not counted twice. The result is 5 overtime hours at 1.5×.
