Please help I need to solve this: My Base pay is a 31.44 Overtime is 1.5 (base pay) =

[Joshuagarcia743]

I came across my paystub and brought this up to my supervisor.
My Base pay is a 31.44
Overtime is 1.5 (base pay) = $47.16 ( should be*)

now the way it’s calculated on my pay stub is

Regular hours. - 18 ($31.44) = $754.55
Overtime - 18 ($31.44) = $565.91
”OvertimePremium” - 18($42.20) (.5)= $379.82
Double time - 6($31.44)(2)= $377.38

this where I saw a problem if they are already paying 18$ @ $31.44
The overtime premium should be paid @ $18(47.16)(.5) correct ?
31.44(1.5) 47.16 hence 1.5(base)

Yet when I simply add 18(31.44)(1.5)= $848.88

but when you separate the whole from the half and add them together

18(31.44). =565.91
18(31.44)(.5)=379.82
=945.73

which would appear they are over paying me at a lesser rate of $42.20 instead of $47.16 Somethings not adding up and there has to be an explanation please help anyone !!!

Well, until you fix this:

Regular hours. - 18 ($31.44) = $754.55
Overtime - 18 ($31.44) = $565.91

You're not going to get anywhere.

How do you multiply the same two values and get different results.
Do you REALLY get overtime after only 24 hours?

31.44(1.5)= 47.16; hence 1.5(base)

Yet when I simply add 18(31.44)(1.5)= $848.88

but when you separate the whole from the half and add them together

18(31.44). =565.91

no, the premium is 18($31.44)(.5)=$282.96; not $379.82,
the premium is how much is added to your regular pay for those hours.

you get the same answer either way
18 ($31.44) = $565.91
18 ($47.16)=$848.88 [your overtime pay=$47.16 ]
total=$1414.79

or/
18 ($31.44) = $565.91
18 ($31.44)+0.5(18)($31.44)=$848.88 [your overtime pay is $31.44 + (0.5)$31.44]
total=$1414.79
