$1,400 total ($1,000 regular + $400 overtime)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Applying the overtime multiplier to all hours
Fix: The overtime multiplier only applies to hours beyond the regular threshold (usually 40). Regular hours are paid at the base rate.
Forgetting that overtime is typically 1.5x
Fix: Under U.S. federal law, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5x their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. Some states require double time in specific cases.
