  1. Lesson 10 – Wages and Salaries Outcome: 11; Text Reference: 1.5

  2. Math at Work • Joseph Galloway lives in a group home for men with schizophrenia in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. He recently finished his high school diploma, taking classes offered to adults with mental illnesses at the Saskatchewan Hospital, where he is an outpatient.

  3. Joseph works one 4-hour shift a week as a short-order cook at McDonald’s. He also works one 4-hour shift a week at the Saskatchewan Hospital canteen. He works one 8-hour day on a work crew organized by the hospital. Joseph is paid the minimum wage at the canteen, on the work crew, and at the golf course. In Saskatchewan, this rate is $9.25 an hour. At McDonald’s, Joseph recently was given a raise, and he now earns $9.75 an hour. How much does Joseph earn each week?

  4. Terms to Know Minimum Wage: the minimum amount a worker must be paid an hour; this rate varies depending on province. (Currently $9.25). Gross Pay: the total amount of money earned; also called gross earnings. Pay Statement: a form an employer gives an employee that shows earnings and deductions from earnings for a defined pay period. Biweekly: every two weeks. Semi-Monthly: twice a month.

  5. Who has had a job that earned you money? How were you paid?

  6. Many people in the trades or in service industries are paid a fixed amount paid hourly or weekly, this is known as a wage. Other people earn salaries, which are expressed in an annual amount paid monthly, semi-monthly or biweekly. What are some occupations that earn an annual salary?

  7. The total amount that a person earns is called their gross pay. Often a person will have a number of deductions taken off their check which reduces the overall amount that they are paid. There are occasions when people are asked by their employers to work extra hours in addition to their normal hours. What are some situations where employees may be asked to work overtime? How much is a reasonable amount to increase the rate of pay for overtime hours?

  8. Ex 1. Each summer, Rick works at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver as a parking lot attendant. His wages this year are $9.76 an hour and his hours of work vary from week to week. He worked 25 hours for the week August 14–20 and 35 hours for the week August 21–27. Rick’s pay statement is shown below. Check it for accuracy and correct any errors you find.

  9. Mental Math/Estimation How many hours are there in a work week that is made up of five 7.5-hour days? How many hours would that be in a year?

  10. Ex 2. Zhong was hired to be the office clerk at an insurance company. His annual salary will be $34 756.00. Why is Zhong not paid annually for his work? Would he earn more each pay period if he were paid semi-monthly or biweekly?
