Formula Used

The biweekly pay calculation follows these steps:

Where:

• Regular work week is considered 80 hours (10 days × 8 hours)
• Overtime is calculated at 1.5 times the hourly wage for hours worked beyond 80
• Breaks are not included in paid hours

Worked Example

Let's calculate a biweekly pay for an employee with:

• Hourly wage: $20.00
• Work schedule: 5 days per week, 8 hours per day
• Break duration: 30 minutes per day

Calculation steps:

1. Total hours worked: 5 days × 8 hours = 40 hours
2. Regular pay: 40 hours × $20.00 = $800.00
3. Overtime pay: Not applicable (40 hours is within regular work week)
4. Total pay: $800.00

For a 10-day work week (80 hours), the calculation would be:

1. Total hours worked: 10 days × 8 hours = 80 hours
2. Regular pay: 80 hours × $20.00 = $1,600.00
3. Overtime pay: Not applicable
4. Total pay: $1,600.00
