Develop a pseudocode algorithm to compute gross pay. The user will input the wag

Question

Develop a pseudocode algorithm to compute gross pay. The user will input the wage and how many hours a person has worked for the week. The company determines the gross pay of an individual as: pay the regular rate for all hours worked up to 40 and including 40 hours, 1.5 times the regular wage for all hours over 40 up to 54 hours, and double wage times for all hours over 54 hours. Do not calculate any taxes for the individual. Your algorithm should display the following information: The name of the worker. The amount of pay without overtime ---- Called regular pay The amount of pay for time and a half --- Called time and half earnings The amount of pay at double time. ---- Called double time earnings The total amount of pay the individual has earned for this paycheck.

Explanation / Answer

Psuedocode for the Algorithm:

print "Enter the wage!"
wage = float(raw_input()) #Take input wage   
print "Enter the number of hours worked in the week!"
hours = float(raw_input()) #Take input hours
total_pay = 0
without_overtime_pay = 0;
time_and_halfpay = 0;
doubletime_pay = 0;
if(hours <= 40):
   without_overtime_pay = hours*wage; #calculate without_overtime_pay
   total_pay = total_pay + hours*wage #calculate total_pay
elif(hours <= 54 and hours > 40):
   without_overtime_pay = hours*wage; #calculate without_overtime_pay
   time_and_halfpay = (hours - 40)*wage*1.5 #calculate time_and_halfpay
   total_pay = total_pay + 40*wage + (hours - 40)*wage*1.5 #calculate total_pay
else:
   without_overtime_pay = hours*wage; #calculate without_overtime_pay
   time_and_halfpay = (14)*wage*1.5 #calculate time_and_halfpay
   doubletime_pay = (hours - 54)*wage*2 #calculate
   total_pay = total_pay + 40*wage + (14)*wage*1.5 +    (hours - 54)*wage*2 #calculate total_pay
print "Worker Name"
print "Amount of pay without overtime ", without_overtime_pay
print "Amount of pay for time and half ", time_and_halfpay
print "Amount of pay at double time ", doubletime_pay
print "Total pay ", total_pay
