John Dilcher's is paid an hourly rate of $18.50 per hour, and he worked 49 hours this week. His pay would be calculated as follows: 49 hours × $18.50 = $906.50 9 hours × $9.25 ($18.50 × 0.5) = 83.25 overtime premium pay Total gross pay = $989.75 Joseph Cavato is paid $12.96 per hour. During the past week, he worked 46 hours, and he is a covered employee who must be paid for overtime. Calculate his gross pay using the overtime premium approach.

Note: In this chapter and in all succeeding work throughout the course, unless instructed otherwise, calculate hourly rates and overtime rates as follows:
1. Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate). 2. If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent. 3. If the third decimal place is less than 5, simply drop the third decimal place. Examples: Monthly rate $1,827
Weekly rate ($1,827 × 12)/52 = $421.615 rounded to $421.62
Hourly rate $421.62/40 = $10.540 rounded to $10.54
O.T. rate $10.54 × 1.5 = $15.81Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow.
