Sam earns a base rate of £50.00 per day for four hours work. Any hours worked over four hours are at a standard rate of £9.50 per hour, until he has worked 37 hours a week. The rate of pay above 37 hours is classed as overtime and is calculated as time and a half based on the standard £9.50 per hour rate. What would be the difference in Sam's earnings over 5 days working a 40 hour week be if he charged a flat rate of £85 per day?
