<prompt> Human: My employer requires 50hrs per week, they give us the option to work a half day on Saturday and earn and extra 5hrs of overtime pay. Last week I left an hour early one day and worked Saturday to make up for my lost time. I took home less working a 55hr week and I did last week working 54hrs.Figures:Pay rate 16hr40hr week: take home- 45450hr week: take home- 62255hr week: take home- 67454hr week: take home- 679Can anyone explain the reasoning for this? This week I was clocked in for 57hrs; I am interested to see the results on Friday.  <response>: Your pay stub should have a breakdown of the things that were held out like taxes and insurance premiums. Can you see a difference in those?
