Practical Example Calculation

Scenario Context: Calculating total wages for an 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM workday, with a 45-minute unpaid lunch, earning $20/hour.

Step 1: Calculate shift duration: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM is 8 hours and 30 minutes (or 8.5 hours).
Step 2: Convert lunch break to decimal hours: 45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours.
Step 3: Calculate daily net hours: 8.5 hours - 0.75 hours = 7.75 hours.
Step 4: Estimate gross earnings: 7.75 hours × $20 = $155.00.
The net hours worked is 7.75 hours, earning a gross total of $155.00.
