How is the regular rate of pay calculated for nonexempt employees before deductions?

  1. Rate/Hours

  2. 40 hour workweek

  3. Hours worked times rate of pay

  4. Tip Credit total calculation

The correct answer is: Hours worked times rate of pay

The regular rate of pay for nonexempt employees before deductions is calculated by multiplying the number of hours worked by the employee's rate of pay. This calculation ensures that nonexempt employees are compensated fairly for all hours worked, including any overtime hours. Option A, Rate/Hours, does not provide the correct calculation method for determining the regular rate of pay. Option B, the 40-hour workweek, is a standard workweek but does not directly calculate the regular rate of pay. Option D, Tip Credit total calculation, is unrelated to calculating the regular rate of pay for nonexempt employees. The correct calculation is Hours worked times rate of pay, as stated in option C.
