A worker's pay terms are shown below.Item Value Basic hourly rate GBP 10 Basic hours this week 40 Overtime hours this week 6 Overtime pay multiplier x1.5
What is the total pay for the week in pounds?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. GBP 490
- Step 1: Basic pay = 10 x 40 = 400; overtime pay = 10 x 1.5 x 6 = 90. Step 2. Total = 400 + 90 = 490 pounds. Answer: GBP 490. Why not the others: GBP 460 pays the overtime hours at the basic rate; GBP 690 pays every hour at the overtime rate; GBP 400 leaves out the overtime pay.
