Now suppose the train he is working
on requires ten hours to make its
regular daily trip, that would be two
hours over time. If he were paid
the regular hourly wage OF 80 cents
an hour he would receive 60 cents
for the extra time. But because IL is
extra" time the brakeman says he
should be paid at the regularly hourly
wage plus an additional amount of
one-half of his regular pay. There
fore. IL 80 cents is his regular hourly
wage 'time-and-a half pay would be
SO cents per hour plus one-half OF
