ways – make sure you know which way it is being calculated.
Types of Pay:

Wages: Set amount of paid per hour or day or item of work. Piecework: Usually involves manufacturing/ assembly
items
Types of Pay Commission: Fixed percentage or amount of
profit given for making a sale Sales, Marketing, Real Estate, Retail jobs

Tips: Money given to employee by customer in exchange for a service
Waitresses, Bartenders, Hair stylists, Caddies
Regulations Affecting Pay Fair Labor Standards Act – standards governing
employee payment and compensation.http://www.dol.gov/elaws/flsa.htm
Equal Pay FSLA forbid employers from paying one person less than
another person for the same work. Work in same establishment Work under same/similar conditions Perform work requiring skill, effort, and responsibility
Often used to prevent discrimination against women, minorities, and older workers.
Regulations Minimum Wage: Lowest hourly rate employer
may legally pay most workers. Raised periodically for inflation. (Just raised)
http://www.dwd.state.wi.us/dwd/publications/erd/pdf/erd_9247_p.pdf
Subminimum Wage: A wage paid under certain conditions to certain categories of workers, such as trainees, that is less than the established minimum wage.
Over Time
Work in excess of 40 hours per week. Usually 1.5 times normal wage For example $8.00 * 1.5 = $12.00/hr
Not paid to salaried employees – weigh the loss of overtime pay before changing to salaried position.
Where Does My Money Go? Almost 31% of an individual’s paycheck is
deducted Taxes are the largest expense most
individuals will have Therefore, it is important to understand the
systematic deductions U.S. tax system operates on an ongoing

Budgeting
Personal Finance
Why Budget? A budget is helpful no matter how large or
small your income is. It is ALL about saving.
If created efficiently, a budget can help you:
Avoid running out of money between paychecks Evaluate your spending habits and making better
choices Set aside savings for unexpected costs (They WILL
happen!) Work toward a financial goal
Budgeting
Although a budget can be created for any time period, most create on for a year Divided it up into months (by 12)
Creating a budget involves three main tasks: Estimating Income (Gross vs Net -- irregular) Estimating Expenses (Fixed vs Variable) Bringing the two into balance – saving
Estimating ExpensesGroup expenses into general categories
Groceries, dining out, gas, cable bill, miscellaneous, etc.
Fixed Expenses: Regular payments that do not vary from month to month. (Rent, car payment)
Variable Expenses: Normally increase and decrease from month to month. (Groceries, Dining Out)
The MORE accurate you are – the more effective your budget.
Estimating ExpensesYou can estimate your expenses using several
ways –
