Calculation of Regular Pay

Regular pay = Regular hourly rate × Regular hours worked

Overtime rate = $18.75/hour × 1.5
Overtime rate = $28.125/hour

Calculation of Overtime Pay

Overtime pay = Overtime rate × Overtime hours
Overtime pay = $28.125/hour × 6 hours
Overtime pay = $168.75

Calculation of Gross Wages

Gross wages = $750 + $168.75
