A worker's pay terms are shown below.Item Value Basic hourly rate GBP 10 Basic hours this week 37.5 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 465
- Step 1: Basic pay = 10 x 37.5 = 375; overtime pay = 10 x 1.5 x 6 = 90. Step 2. Total = 375 + 90 = 465 pounds. Answer: GBP 465. Why not the others: GBP 435 pays the overtime hours at the basic rate; GBP 652.5 pays every hour at the overtime rate; GBP 375 leaves out the overtime pay.
