Learning activity 1.1: How are you paid?

Acknowledgements (Opens in new window)

This course will help you manage your money. To do that you need to take a look at the money you earn, the money that is taken out of your paycheque through deductions, and the money you spend.

To balance the money coming in and the money going out you need a budget. As you work your way through the learning activities in this course, you will be prompted to add to a budget. The budget will be handed in at the end of the course. You will learn more about your budget at the end of this learning activity.

Video: “Gail Vaz-Oxlade talks about budgeting.”

Gail Vaz-Oxlade is a Canadian-Jamaican financial expert and television personality. From 2005-2016 she had a number of television programs discussing the money issues of Canadians who pool their household’s money together to share expenses. Watch as Gail Vaz-Oxlade talks about budgeting.

Gail explains the importance of having a budget and being honest about the money coming in and going out. She also says it is extremely important to track all your money. The first step in creating a budget is to know how much money is coming in and when.

Why is it important to use a budget? Refer to both the video clip and relevant examples from your own life.

Student Answer

Types of pay

There are five main ways to get paid for work:

Hourly rate (with overtime)
Salary plus commission
Salary plus gratuities
Annual salary
Project rate

Think of an example of a job that would be paid using each of these remuneration methods.

Compare your thinking with the suggestions provided.

Student Answer

Here are just some examples:

Hourly – retail, assembly workers, some medical, skilled trades

Salary plus commission – retail, car salespeople, insurance salespeople

Salary plus gratuities – hairdressers, aestheticians, waiters/waitresses, bartenders, delivery people

Annual salary – teachers, bank managers, librarians, police

Project rate – computer software designers, skilled trades, artists, contract workers

Hourly rate

An hourly rate is the amount an employee is paid for every hour of work done.

If your hourly rate is $20, how much would you make after 25 hours of work? Look at the suggested answers to confirm your solution. The suggested answers can also help guide you through how to find the answer to the question if you are stuck.

Student Answer

Total pay $= h o u r l y r a t e \times n u m b e r o f h o u r s$

$= $ 20 \times 25$

$= $ 500$

You would make $500 for 25 hours of work with an hourly rate of $20.

Hourly rate plus overtime

An overtime rate is the amount an employee is paid after a certain number of hours of work. In Ontario, regular pay is calculated up to 44 hours of work per week. After these 44 hours, an employee would be paid by the overtime rate. This overtime rate must be at least $1 \frac{1}{2}$ (or 1.5) times the regular pay. This is often referred to as ‘time and a half’. There also may be different overtime rates of weekends and holidays.

Examples:

Take a look at some examples of calculating wages based on hourly and overtime rates. Remember to check your solutions with the suggested answers.

Determine the overtime rate based on ‘time and a half’ for a person whose hourly rate is $20.

Student Answer

Overtime Rate $= 1.5 \times h o u r l y r a t e$

$= 1.5 \times $ 20$

$= $ 30$

The overtime rate is $30 for an hourly rate of $20

Calculate the total pay for a person in Ontario who worked 53 hours in one week at an hourly rate of $16 per hour. This question has been broken down into steps that may help you organize the solution.

Step 1: Determine the number of regular hours and the number of overtime hours.

There will be 44 regular hours and 9 overtime hours.

Remember that 44 hours is the maximum number of regular hours allowed in Ontario. Note that the two types of hours (44 and 9) add to the total, 53 hours.

Step 2: Determine the overtime rate.

Overtime Rate $= 1.5 \times h o u r l y r a t e$

$= 1.5 \times $ 16$

$= $ 24$

Step 3: Determine the total regular pay and the total overtime pay.

Remember to multiply the rate with the number of hours for each.

Total regular pay $= r e g u l a r h o u r s \times h o u r l y r a t e$

$= 44 \times $ 16$

$= $ 704$

Total overtime pay $= o v e r t i m e h o u r s \times o v e r t i m e r a t e$

$= 9 \times $ 24$

$= $ 216$

Step 4: Determine the total pay by adding the regular pay and the overtime pay.

Total pay $= t o t a l r e g u l a r p a y + t o t a l o v e r t i m e p a y$

$= $ 704 + $ 216$

$= $ 920$

The total pay for someone who works 53 hours a week at an hourly rate of $16 is $920.

Salary plus commission

Commission is the amount of money employees are paid based on the dollar value of their sales. It is stated as a percentage of the sales within a certain period (usually weekly or monthly).

A percent is a portion of 100. When you work with percent, convert the percent to a decimal by dividing the percent by 100. What would 25% of $60 be?

Step 1: Convert 25% to a decimal.

$25 \div 100$

$= 0.25$

Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the value given.

Remember that ‘of’ in math means multiply so 25% ‘of’ $60 means 25% ‘multiplied’ by $60

$0.25 \times $ 60$

$= $ 15$

25% of $60 is $15

Example:

Go through an example of calculating wages on commission. Remember to check your solutions with the suggested answers.

Yazmin (she/her) works in a furniture and appliance store and earns $15.50 per hour with 5% commission from sales. If she worked 30 hours in one week and sold merchandise worth $8000, what would her total pay be? This question has been broken down into steps that may help you organize the solution.

Step 1: Determine the regular pay.

Remember to calculate this by multiplying the number of hours by the hourly rate.

Regular pay $= h o u r s \times h o u r l y r a t e$

$= 30 \times $ 15.50$

$= $ 465$

Step 2: Calculate the commission.

Remember you must first convert the percent to a decimal by dividing by 100

$5 % \div 100$

$= 0.05$

Commission $= 0.05 \times s a l e s$

$= 0.05 \times $ 8,000$

$= $ 400$

Step 3: Determine the total pay by adding the regular pay and the commission.

Total pay $= r e g u l a r p a y + c o m m i s s i o n$

$= $ 465 + $ 400$

$= $ 865$

The total pay for Yazmin is $865

Salary plus gratuities

Gratuities are tips that a customer would pay for a service. Usually, the customer determines the amount of a tip. For example, in a restaurant, a tip of 15% - 20% is often suggested.

Example:

Investigate the following example in which wages are calculated to include gratuities. Remember to check your solutions with the suggested answers.

Trayvon (they/them), a hairdresser, earns $18 per hour plus gratuities. If they work 35 hours per week and earns $160 in gratuities, what is their total pay for that week?

Step 1: Determine the regular pay

Remember that we calculate this by multiplying the number of hours by the hourly rate

Regular pay $= h o u r s \times h o u r l y r a t e$

$= 35 \times $ 18$

$= $ 630$

Step 2: Determine the total pay by adding the regular pay and the gratuities

Total pay $= r e g u l a r p a y + g r a t u i t i e s$

$= $ 630 + $ 160$

$= $ 790$

The total pay for Trayvon is $790

Annual Salary and Project Rate Problems

An annual salary is a fixed amount of money paid to a person for regular work. It is usually calculated on the basis of working 2,000 hours per year.

A project rate is a fixed amount of money for completing a project. Many people who work on contracts would be on a project rate. For example, a carpenter might be paid $200 to build a coffee table.

Example:

Go through an example of calculating wages based on a project rate. Remember to check your solutions with the suggested answers.

A person painting a wall with orange paint

Violet (she/her) has agreed to a contract to paint a large warehouse. The paint is supplied and the payment for the job is $1000. If it takes her 40 hours to finish the painting, what would she be earning per hour?

Student Answer

Hourly Pay $= P r o j e c t R a t e \div H o u r s$

$= $ 1,000 \div 40$

$= $ 25$

She would have an hourly rate of $25.

A cashier handing a grocery bag to a shopper

Bun (she/her) works in a department store as a cashier and earns $14.50 per hour. Each week she works 25 hours. What is her total pay for one paycheque if her pay is calculated biweekly?

Step 1: Determine the total number of hours in each paycheque

Remember that biweekly means you work two weeks before you get a paycheque

Total hours $= h o u r s p e r w e e k \times n u m b e r o f w e e k s$

$= 25 \times 2$

$= 50$

Step 2: Calculate the pay based on the total hours

Pay $= T o t a l h o u r s \times h o u r l y r a t e$

$= 50 \times $ 14.50$

$= $ 725$

The total pay is $725.

An artist painting a mural on a wall outdoors

Arun (he/him) is an artist who paints attractive designs on outdoor walls. The Government of Ontario hires him to paint colourful designs on a wall at Ontario Place. The project is worth $6,600 and he has six months to complete the work. If Arun receives his pay monthly, what would his pay be each month?

Student Answer

Pay each month $= T o t a l P a y \div N u m b e r o f p a y m e n t s$

$= $ 6,600 \div 6$

$= $ 1,100$

Arun will earn $1,100 each month.

Student Answer

Pay per paycheque $= S a l a r y \div N u m b e r o f p a y c h e q u e s$

$= $ 30 000 \div 24$

$= $ 1,250$

Emma would receive $1,250 in each paycheque.
