Explanation of Solution

Overtime Earnings: If an employee works more than the stipulated working hours (more than 40 hours) of the employment then, the employee is mandated to get paid one and a half times more than the normal working pay. This one and half times can be termed as overtime premium or earnings.

Calculate the overtime earnings for K.

Step 1: Calculate the number of overtime hours worked. and overtime rate for Weekday, Saturday and Sunday.

Overtime hours =Total hours worked in a weekNormal hours per week= 5612 40=1612hours

Note: Out of 16 hours 30 minutes, 12 hours 15 minutes is the overtime of week days and Saturday, and the remaining 4 hours 15 minutes is the overtime on Sunday.

Step 2: Calculate overtime rate for Weekday, Saturday and Sunday.

Calculate overtime rate for weekday and Saturday.

Overtime rate(Weekday and Saturday)=112times the hourly rate=112×$13.50=$20.25

Calculate overtime rate for Sunday.

Overtime rate(Sunday)=2times the hourly rate=2×$13.50=$27

Step 3: Calculate the overtime earnings:

Overtime earnings = Overtime hours worked ×Overtime wage rate=($20.25×1214)+($27×414)=$248.06+$114.75=$362.81

Hence, the overtime earnings for K is $362.81.

    Employees at the Sagerod Manufacturing Company record their hours worked on paper time cards that are inserted into a time clock machine at the beginning and end of each shift. On Fridays, the supervisor collects the time cards, reviews and signs them, and sends them to the payroll clerk. The clerk calculates the pay for each employee and updates the employee earnings file. This involves adding a new record for each employee in the pay period that reflects the employee’s gross pay, tax deductions, and other withholdings for the period. The clerk then prepares a paycheck for each employee and records them in the check register. The check register and corresponding paychecks reflect each employee’s net earnings for the period. Based on these records, the clerk prepares a payroll summary, which is sent with the paychecks to the cash disbursements clerk. The clerk reviews the payroll summary, updates the cash disbursements journal to record the total payroll, and prepares a check for the…
