The FLSA says employers must pay overtime at a rate of at least one-and-a-half times normal pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Jill worked 46 hours in one week, so she was paid for 6 of those hours at a rate equal to one-and-a-half times the hourly rate of $10. The 6 overtime hours were at a rate of $15, so Jill earned at least $490.
