Example: Henry receives $80 per month and his regular workweek is 40 hours set by agreement or custom. His weekly earnings are found by translating the monthly salary to an annual salary (80 x 12 equals $960) and dividing by 52 ($960 divided by 52 equals $18.46). Therefore, his weekly salary is $18.46 and his hourly rate 46 cents ($8.60 divided by 40). If he works 50 hours in any week, he should be paid $25.30 or $6.90 addi- tional (40 x .46 plus 10 x .69). In the instance of a salaried worker whose hours fluctuate from week to week, the hourly rate varies accord: ingly. Example: Mary is paid $15 a week, | each week. Her hourly rate for each | week is determined by dividing hours worked into her weekly salary. In a week that she works 50 hours her regular hourly rate is 30 cents. Since she has already been paid for 50 hours at straight time, she is entitled to the additional half time for 10 hours or $1.50 (10 x .15).
