Commission & OvertimeTime and a half

Example

Fraser is a green keeper at the S Club in Fife. His basic hourly rateIs £12.50.

During a golf tournament, Fraser was required to work 18hours overtimeat time and a half.

Time and a half rate rate = Time and a half rate rate = £12.50 x 1.5£12.50 x 1.5= £18.75= £18.75

18 x £18.75 = £337.5018 x £18.75 = £337.5018 hours overtime is = 18 hours overtime is =
