Question

hudson earns $8.76 per hour for the first 7 hours he works each day, then double time after that. find the double-time hourly rate

Answer 1

Double time is a rate of pay double the usual amount a person receives for normal hours worked.

Double time is sometimes paid for working on federal holidays or when hours work exceeding the normal workday.

There are no federal laws that require an employer to pay double time for overtime worked. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has no requirement for double time pay.

However, state laws may provide for overtime or double time. For example, in California, double the employee's regular rate of pay must be paid for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.

So, if normal rate of pay was $8.76 an hour, double time pay would be $17.52 per hour.

double the employee's regular rate of pay must be paid for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.

$7\times5=35$

$14\times5=70$

$8\times5=40$

70-40=30

30 hours will be double payment
