    Can anyone of you help me with this question:

    A production operative is paid $ 11.00 per hour for basic 35 hour week.
    Over time is paid 40% over the basic rate.
    The operative worked for 38 hours in one week.
    Income tax dedeucted was $ 76.40 and benefit contribution payments were:

    ???? employer : $40
    ???? employee : 10% of gross pay

    What was the net pay of the operative in that week?

    Remember this:

    Gross Pay is ‘calculated’ pay.
    Net Pay is pay actually given to the employees.
    Also, NP < GP as a rule, as the employee’ contributions (pension, income tax etc) are deducted from GP to give NP.

    Basic Pay (38 hours) = 38*11 = 418
    Overtime Premium (3 hours) = 3*0.4*11 = 13.2
    Total Pay (GP) = 418 + 13.2 = 431.2

    Simply deduct everything contributed/paid by EMPLOYEE
    aka
    GP – income tax – Employee’s contributions
    = 431.2 – 76.4 – 0.1*431.2 = $311.68

    And also, the labour cost for the EMPLOYER is always greater than GP as it INCLUDES any of the contributions of the employer.
    So NP < GP < Labour Cost (to employer)

    For this, add the employer’s contributions to GP
    Labour Cost = 431.2 + 40 = $471.2
