The plain-words read of this example
You flagged 39.2 h on 44.0 h at the shop, 89% efficiency, for $1,200.00 (the guarantee paid more than the flagged hours). That is $27.27 per clock hour, above the $15.00 minimum that applies. The 4.0 h over 40 add $54.55 of overtime premium. Over 4 weeks you average 90%, and $1,500.00 takes 10.0 h flagged a day.
