Method & sources

Apply the entered rate to the first 40 hours and one and a half times that rate to any hours above 40. Compare the total with gross wages received, before taxes or deductions.

Can I enter a two-week pay period?

Calculate each workweek separately. Averaging hours across two weeks can hide overtime due for one of them.
