Matt earns $10.10 per hour and works 37.5 hours per week. Calculate Matt's regular bi-weekly earnings.
Reveal Solution Discussion 0Correct Answer:
$757.50
Explanation:
Regular earnings for an hourly employee are calculated as hourly rate × hours worked. Because "bi-weekly" means two weeks of work paid together, you calculate one week's regular earnings and then multiply by two (assuming the hours are the same each week and there is no overtime premium indicated).
Step 1: Weekly regular earnings:
$10.10 × 37.5 hours = $10.10 × 37 + $10.10 × 0.5
= $373.70 + $5.05
= $378.75.
Step 2: Bi-weekly regular earnings (2 weeks):
$378.75 × 2 = $757.50.
So Matt's regular bi-weekly earnings are $757.50.
In payroll documentation, "regular earnings" are the employee's base wages before statutory deductions (CPP
/QPP, EI, income tax) and before other deductions, and they exclude any separately calculated earnings like overtime premiums or taxable benefits unless stated. This approach (rate × hours, then adjust for pay period) is the standard method used to compute gross/regular pay for hourly employees before moving on to deductions and net pay.
