Below are the dates and times that rick lyon worked during the week of december 1 to december 8. use this information to complete the time sheet above. (notice that each day's information is placed horizontally across the rows of the timesheet.) once you have the information added to the time sheet, calculate the regular hours worked for each day. away time is where you record rick's lunch break. remember not to include time away in your total hours worked because rick does not get paid for time away.
overtime is any time worked each week that is more than the total of forty hours. for instance, if you work forty hours in a week, there is no overtime. if you work forty-two hours, there are two overtime hours (42 hours worked – 40 regular hours = 2 overtime hours).
do not be confused; overtime is simple once you get the hang of it. overtime is any amount of time worked that is more than forty hours in a week.
overtime is calculated separately, because it is paid at a higher rate than regular time. according to federal law, overtime must be paid at a minimum rate of hourly wage plus half the hourly wage amount. the common term for overtime is time and a half. (for example, if the regular hourly wage is $8, overtime wage is $8 plus $4 = $12 an hour for any time that is more than forty hours a week.)
