Which is my way of saying: a college degree doesnât guarantee success, and not getting a college degree doesnât guarantee failure. I just read a really nice article here on Forbes, Ten Smart Things I Learned From People Who Never Went to College.
These employees are usually put on a 40-hour workweek. To figure hours for a semi-monthly salaried employee, multiply 40 hours by 52 weeks, which comes to 2,080 hours. Then, divide 2,080 by 24 annual semi-monthly pay periods to arrive at 86.67 hours for the pay period. To figure salary for the pay period, divide annual salary by 24 semi-monthly pay periods.
Using the standard 86.667 hours worked per semi-monthly pay period, if the semi-monthly salary equals $1,700, divide $1,700 by 86.667 to find the hourly wage equals $19.52. Alternatively, if the part-time employee works 55 hours and is paid a salary of $1,000, divide $1,000 by 55 to get $18.18.
