Calculation method

Regular hours after both rules

Remove daily overtime, then remove weekly overtime from the remaining regular pool.

Daily-overtime hours

Sum max(0,daily minutes−daily threshold)/60.

Additional weekly-overtime hours

max(0,remaining pool−weekly threshold)/60, excluding already counted daily overtime.

Gross pay under entered rule order ($)

Regular pay+daily overtime×daily multiplier+weekly overtime×weekly multiplier, with each component rounded to US cents.
