Example: Employee works a total of 55 hours during the week. The employee had 40 hours of "Regular Time" (sometimes called "straight-time") and 15 hours of "Overtime."
Gross pay with overtime hours is calculated by adding the regular pay for standard hours worked and the overtime pay for additional hours worked at a higher rate, typically 1.5 times the regular pay rate.
If overtime pay is 1 1/2, then it would be calculated like so... (hours worked) x (regular pay) x 1.5
at one and one half times the hourly rate
Overtime is still calculated per week however, it would be payed every two weeks.
Usually hourly at time and a half. Can be banked, too.
To calculate overtime pay, follow these steps: Determine Overtime Rate: Typically, it's time and a half (1.5 times the regular rate). For example, if the regular rate is $20/hour, the overtime rate is $30/hour (1.5 x $20). Calculate Overtime Hours Worked: Overtime is usually the hours worked over the standard full-time hours (often over 40 hours per week). Calculate Overtime Pay: Multiply the overtime hours by the overtime rate. E.g., for 8 overtime hours at a $30/hour rate, the overtime pay is 8 x $30 = $240. In Excel: Set up columns for names, regular hours, hourly rate, overtime rate, overtime hours, and pay. Multiply regular hours by hourly rate for regular pay. Multiply overtime hours by the overtime rate for overtime pay. Add regular and overtime pay for total pay. Ensure accuracy in calculations to avoid compliance issues. For complex situations, consider using dedicated software or automation tools.
