Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net pay is the amount an employee takes home after all deductions (such as taxes and insurance premiums) have been subtracted from their gross pay (total earned income before deductions). Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it reflects this calculation. Options B and C are incorrect as they only account for different types of earnings, not the deductions that impact net pay. Option D is also incorrect as it assumes that net earnings plus overtime earnings will always be greater than the amount withheld, which may not always be the case.
