Results

These examples assume that the state minimum wage is $10.00 per hour.

6a - Employee works all hours at minimum wage

In this example, the employee works all hours at minimum wage, so gets the full hour of additional pay.

Morning 240 $10.00 $40.00
Evening 240 $10.00 $40.00

The employee earned $80.00, but is owed $90.00. In this case, a $10.00 premium is paid.

6b - Employee works slightly above minimum wage

In this example, the employee works slightly above the minimum wage, so gets a little less than an hour's pay.

Evening 240 $10.25 $41.00
PREMIUM $8.00

The employee earned $82.00, but is owed $90.00. In this case, an $8.00 premium is paid.

6c - Employee works well above minimum wage

In this example, the employee works well above the minimum wage, so the employee does not get any additional pay.
