If the employee received a salary of $35,000, they <br />would receive a fixed rate of $673.08 each week or $16.83 per/hr, regardless <br />of whether they worked 40 hours or not. In week one the employee would <br />receive a straight $673.08. In week two the employee would receive <br />$673.08 and overtime for every hour worked over 40. The overtime would <br />be compensated based on the number of hours in the workweek that they <br />worked using the calculation (weekly fixed pay/ hours worked)/2 or <br />(673.08/49)/2. The overtime rate of pay would be $6.87 per/hour. The total <br />amount of overtime pay would be $61.81 verses the standard overtime pay <br />(time and half) of $227.16. <br />Note: The hourly rate of pay can never go below the current minimum wage. <br />Overtime Conzperzsation Examples <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
