To calculate Akari's gross pay for the two-week period, we first need to calculate her earnings for each week.
For the first week:
Earnings = 38 hours * $12.00 = $456
For the second week:
Earnings = 46 hours * $12.00 = $552
Total gross pay for the two-week period:
$456 + $552 = $1008
Therefore, Akari's gross pay for this two-week period is $1008.

Question
Kirsten worked 44 hours this week, but her employer told her that she is not entitled to overtime because the previous week she was out sick one day, so she only worked 32 hours. Since she had to stay late to catch up, the employer is not responsible for the overtime. Is this correct?

Gretchen is hired as a sales person, and her base salary will be minimum wage. However, she will earn a $200 commission for every sale she makes. Her new boss let her know that most salespeople at this firm average 8-10 sales a week except for the month of January when sales drop dramatically and do not pick up until mid-February or early March. Is this legal?
