Question:

The timesheet of employee Stevens shows that he worked 44 hours during a 40-hour workweek. On Monday and Saturday, he worked 2 hours overtime respectively. The normal overtime remuneration (1½ x normal wage) is paid. His normal wage is N$6 per hour. Medical aid and pension fund contributions (6% and 10% of normal wages respectively) are paid on a 50:50 basis by employer and employee. PAYE (12% of taxable income) is the only other deduction being made.

Assume that a year consists of 52 workweeks, that Stevens gets 3 weeks holiday leave per year, and that the enterprise is closed for eight (8) public holidays during the year. Normal idle time is budgeted as 7½% and a holiday bonus equal to 3 weeks' wages is paid.

Calculate the total labor cost.
