Your regular rate, or more commonly base rate rate, is dollars grossed less already paid overtime (eg perhaps daca 5, or redeemed for cash daca 3) divided by actual work hours. 4 pay periods to this point. For demonstration
Pay Period | Gross Pay | Actual Hours |
21-2019 | 1888.72 | 86 |
22-2019 | 1899.69 | 72.8 |
23-2019 | 1895.09 | 82.4 |
24-2019 | 1898.27 | 85.88 |
| | |
| | |
Total | 7581.77 | 327.08 |
My special average regular rate for the guarantee period till the end of the current pay period ending (11-22, the week prior to thanksgiving madness, paid on 11-29), excluding daca 5, 2nd trip, EMA, authorized deviations, etc -- just regular pay, leave pay, and holiday pay: $23.18 / hour.
Now, as a table 2 step 3 43k, my normal rate for the 49,633 salary based on 2080 hours is $23.80 / hour, so yet again, free money and give backs back to the post office. The last pay period my hours exploded. I didn't get/give enough to bust through the 56 hours/week, but damn close both weeks, and to extrapolate:
Projected For Pay Period | Projected Gross Pay | Estimated Actual Hours |
26-2019 | 1898.27 | 107 |
| | |
Projected Total | 9480.04 | 434.08 |
Now the projected special regular rate is $21.84 (2 dollar an hour pay cut for working 107-86 = 21 hours for free over the last two weeks). You jerks who think the evaluated system is awesome can kiss me shiny metal can. Conservatively 150 packages beyond my count average per day for the last 12 working days -- 1800 packages for free just the last two weeks on top of that. So the answer, the overtime rate is [special] regular rate times 150%... for me, I project $32.76/hour for hours beyond 43 a week (my evaluation)
Edit: Like it is now, late after a long day, last night I used 43k, which isn’t the right way because built in overtime. I’ll edit tomorrow using 40k.
