Week 1
$12.00 * 27 = $324.00 - Regular Pay 1st Shift
$14.00 * 16 = $224.00 - Regular Pay 2nd Shift
$324.00 + $224.00 = $548.00 - Regular Pay
27 + 16 = 43 - Total Hours worked
$548. = $12.74 - Hourly Rate
$12.74 * 0.5 + $12.74 = $19.12 - Overtime Rate
$12.74 * 40 = $509.60 - Gross Wages
$19.12 * 3 = $57.36 - Overtime Wages
$509.60 + $57.36 = 566.96 - Wages combined 567.12
Week 2
$12.00 * 10 = $120.00 - Regular Pay 1st Shift
$16.00 * 37 = $592.00 - Regular Pay 2nd Shift
$592.00 + $120.00 = $712.00 - Regular Pay
37 + 10 = 47 - Total Hours Worked
, $712. = $15.15 - Hourly Rate
$15.15 * 0.5 + $15.15 = $22.73 - Overtime Rate
$15.15 * 40 = $606.00 - Gross Wages
$22.73 * 7 = $159.11 - Overtime Wages
$606.00 + $159.11 = 765.11 - Wages Combined 765.02
$7.32 - GTL Benefit Value
765.11 + 566.96 + $7.32 = $1339.39 - Wages & GTL
