QUESTION 5

Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Solve the problem.

Juan earns a weekly salary of $820.00 and is nonexempt from FLSA. Last week he worked 53 hours. What are his gross earnings for the week?

$1281.25

$1219.75

$1160.25

$1279.25

Solution

We know that there are 40 working hours in a week.
given that weekly pay= $820
then per hour pay = 820/40 = 20.5
Extra working hours = 53-40= 13
As the pay is 1.5 times for the remaining hours the person works.

then gross earning = 820+1.5*20.5*13 =$1219.75
