If a non-exempt hourly employee works 50 hours in a week and receives a $100 non-discretionary bonus, what is the calculated regular rate for the week if their regular hourly rate is $10.00?

$7.50
$9.50
$10.00
$12.00

The correct answer is: $12.00

To find the correct regular rate for the week, you must first understand how to incorporate the non-discretionary bonus into the calculation. A non-exempt hourly employee who works 50 hours in a week is entitled to receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40. The regular hourly rate is $10.00, and with a total of 50 hours worked, the calculation involves both the base pay and the bonus. Begin by calculating the total earnings for the week. For the first 40 hours, the employee earns $10.00 per hour. This amounts to $400 (40 hours × $10.00). For the additional 10 hours of overtime, the employee is entitled to 1.5 times their regular rate, which is $15.00 per hour for those 10 hours. This results in $150 (10 hours × $15.00). Next, add the earnings from both the regular and overtime hours: $400 (for 40 hours) + $150 (for 10 hours) + the non-discretionary bonus of $100. This totals $650. Now, to find the regular rate, divide the total earnings by the total number of hours worked (both regular and overtime): $650
