Question: how to calculate time in a half pay?
Answer: 40 regular hours X $10 = $400. The employee earned $400 in normal wages. ... 
$10 X 1.5 = $15 (overtime hourly rate of pay) Then multiply the overtime rate by the number of overtime hours.
$15 X 10 overtime hours = $150. The employee earned $150 in overtime wages. ... 
$400 + $150 = $550.
