carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate). 2. If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent. 3. If the third decimal place is less than 5, simply drop the third decimal place. Examples: Monthly rate $1,827 Weekly rate ($1,827 x 12)/52 $421.615 rounded to $421.62 Hourly rate $421.62/40 = $10.540 rounded to $10.54 O.T. rate $10.54 x 1.5= $15.81 Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow. Example 2-17 Alex Seigle earns a monthly salary of $3,100 for a 35-hour week. For overtime, they receive their regular hourly rate of pay for the hours up to 40 and time and one-half beyond 40 hours in any week. For this semimonthly pay period, Seigle worked 8 hours overtime-only 1 hour was beyond 40 In any week, and they were paid $1,723.74 based on: $3,100 x 12 $37,200 annual $37,200/52 $715.38 weekly $715.38/35 = $20.44 hourly $20.44 x 1.5 $30.66 overtime $1,550.00 (semimonthly pay) + (7 x $20.44) + (1 x $30.66) = $1,723.74 Shella Williams, a medical secretary, eams $2,597 monthly for a 34-hour week. For overtime work, she receives extra pay at the regular hourly rate up to 40 hours and time and one-half beyond 40 hours in any week. During one semimonthly pay period, Williams worked 10 hours overtime. Only 2 hours of this overtime were beyond 40 hours In any one week. Compute the following amounts. Round all divisions to two decimal places and use the rounded amounts in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest cent. a. The regular semimonthly earnings b. The overtime earnings c. The total earnings x carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate). 2.
