24. does mary need to pay the front desk office clerk overtime?

Given that Mary manages the front office at a local doctor’s office and needs to figure out payroll for the front office clerk that is paid hourly.

And that Mary also has to make sure that she keeps the front office clerk under 40 hours a week to avoid overtime pay.

Given that the front office clerk’s timesheet reads as follows:

Monday              Tuesday       Wednesday      Thursday          Friday
470 minutes    440 minutes    455 minutes    490 minutes    310 minutes

22.) Here the information provided are the time worked by the front desk office clerk for each day of the week. The information on the amount of regular time hours is also provided.

23.) To solve the problem we calculate the total number of hours worked by the front desk office clerk and the total number of hours worked by 60 to be able to determine whether she worked overtime.

24. The total number of hours worked by the front desk office clerk is 470 + 440 + 455 + 490 + 310 = 2,165 minutes = 2,165 / 60 = 36 hours 5 minutes.
Because she worked for less number of hours than the 40 hours a week requirement for overtime, Mary does not need to pay the front desk office clerk.

Ithink it would be 160 people
