Example: Sarah earns $25/hour and worked 50 hours this week. Her regular pay for the first 40 hours is 40 × $25 = $1,000. Her 10 overtime hours are paid at 1.5× = $37.50/hour, giving $375 in overtime pay. Total weekly pay = $1,375. Her effective hourly rate for the week = $1,375 ÷ 50 = $27.50/hour. Over 52 such weeks, her annual income would be $71,500.
