An employee earns £7.29 per hour for their contracted hours. The employee is also paid 1.5 times standard pay when working overtime. Similarly, employees are offered a £30 cash bonus every time they meet or exceed their weekly sales targets.If in one week, an employee works 37.5 contracted hours, 9 hours of overtime and meets their weekly target, how much can the employee expect to be paid?£401.80£412.40£425.70£436.20£447.50

To solve this problem, we need to calculate each part of the employee's earnings separately and then add them together.

1. Contracted Hours: The employee works 37.5 hours at a rate of £7.29 per hour. So, the total earning from contracted hours is 37.5 hours * £7.29/hour = £273.375.

2. Overtime: The employee works 9 hours of overtime at 1.5 times the standard pay. So, the overtime pay is 9 hours * 1.5 * £7.29/hour = £98.175.

3. Bonus: The employee meets their weekly target, so they receive a £30 bonus.

Adding these together, the total pay the employee can expect to receive is £273.375 + £98.175 + £30 = £401.55.

However, this amount is not listed in the options. It's possible that the overtime pay was rounded up to £98.25, which would make the total pay £401.625, which would round to £401.63. This is still not listed in the options.

There may be a mistake in the problem or the answer choices.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate each part of the employee's earnings separately and then add them together.

1. Contracted Hours: The employee works 37.5 hours at a rate of £7.29 per hour. So, the total earning from contracted hours is 37.5 hours * £7.29/hour = £273.375.

2. Overtime: The employee works 9 hours of overtime at a rate of 1.5 times the standard pay. So, the overtime pay is 9 hours * 1.5 * £7.29/hour = £98.175.

3. Bonus: The employee meets their weekly target, so they receive a bonus of £30.

Adding these all together, the total pay the employee can expect to receive is £273.375 + £98.175 + £30 = £401.55.

However, this amount is not listed in the options. It's possible that the overtime pay was rounded up to the nearest whole number before being added, which would give a total pay of £402. If we round each individual component to the nearest whole number before adding, we get £273 + £99 + £30 = £402.

So, there seems to be a slight discrepancy in the calculation or the provided options. The closest option to the calculated pay is £401.80.
