Expert Solution

As per Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Unless exempt , employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek.

Total Number of hours worked = 55 hours

Regular hours worked = 40 hours

Overtime hours worked = 55 hours - 40 hours = 15 hours

Regular pay rate = $40 per Hour

Overtime pay rate = 1.5 times of the regular rate = $40 per hour x 1.5 = $60

a. Calculation of Gross Pay

		Amount
a. Normal wages	40 hours x $40	$1,600
b. Overtime wages	15 hours x $60	$960
c. Gross pay (a + b)		$2,560

b. Calculation of Net pay

Federal Insurane Contribution Act is the federal law that requires an employer to withhold Social security tax and Medicare tax from the employees pay check. These both taxes are collectively known as FICA taxes.

Social Security tax rate - 6.0% of gross wages

Medicare tax - 1.5% of gross wages

Gross Pay		$2,560
Less: Federal Income tax withholdoing		$575
Less: Social security tax @6%	$2,560 x 6%	$153.60
Less: <Medicare tax @1.5%	$2,560 x 1.5%	$38.40
Net pay for the week		$1,793
