Apply California’s standard overtime rules, with no alternative-workweek or other exception. A nonexempt laborer works 12.5 hours in one workday at a regular rate of $30 per hour. Ignoring weekly overtime, what is the day's gross pay?

Correct Answer

B) $450.

8 × $30 + 4 × $45 + 0.5 × $60 = $240 + $180 + $30 = $450. The $420 choice omits the final half-hour; $562.50 pays every hour at 1.5 times. The $465 choice does not equal the stated tiered calculation. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Overtime.htm
