Piece Rate Estimator

This piece rate estimator will allow both employees and employers to determine the wages owed to an employee paid on a piece rate basis. Piece-rate based pay means the employee will be paid on a per-unit basis versus being paid an hourly amount. Let's say an employee at a car manufacturer is working to build starters. For every starter the employee completes, the employer will pay him $30.00 per completed unit. At the end of the workweek, the total completed units are tallied together to give a total number of wages which are owed. But the employees work hours are just as crucial in this formula, because the employee must be paid at least the minimum wage or greater; or else the employer would be violating minimum wage and overtime laws by the FLSA.
