Calculation for Gross Pay :-

Consultant :-

Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

= $2710 + Nil

= $2710

Computer Programmer :-

Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

= ($32*40) + (32*20*1.5)

= $1280 + $960

= $2240

Administrator :-

Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

= ($42*40) + ($42*10*2)

= $1680 + $840

= $ 2520
