An employee earns $12.50 per hour. What is the gross pay of this non-exempt employee who works 45 hours during a holiday week, and receives 8 hours additional pay for the holiday?

To calculate the gross pay for this non-exempt employee, you first need to consider both the regular and the overtime hours worked, as well as the additional holiday pay.

The employee earns $12.50 per hour. For the 45 hours worked, the calculation for the regular and overtime pay is as follows:

1. Regular hours: The first 40 hours are paid at the regular rate of $12.50.

• Calculation: 40 hours x $12.50/hour = $500.00.

2. Overtime hours: The employee worked 5 hours of overtime. Overtime is typically paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. Thus, the overtime rate is:

• Overtime Rate: 1.5 x $12.50 = $18.75 per hour.

• Calculation for 5 hours of overtime: 5 hours x $18.75/hour = $93.75.

3. Holiday pay: The employee receives 8 hours of additional pay for the holiday, which is calculated at the regular rate, so:

• Calculation: 8 hours x $12.50/hour = $100.00.

Now, add all three components
