A worker is paid KSh 180 per hour for a basic week of 36 hours. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the normal rate. How much does she earn in a week with 5 overtime hours?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. KSh 7,830
- Step 1: Basic pay = 180 x 36 = 6,480. Step 2. Overtime = 180 x 1.5 x 5 = 1,350. Step 3. Total = KSh 7,830. Answer: KSh 7,830. Why not the others: KSh 7,380: That pays all the overtime hours at the normal rate. KSh 6,480: That leaves out the overtime. KSh 11,070: That pays every hour at the overtime rate.
