"When I worked 56 hours my check was about $480," she remembers.

This month the highest minimum wage in the nation went into effect in Oakland, Calif. Today if she works those same hours, Donaldson estimates she'd make about $170 more every two weeks.


either gross or net I can't see the numbers working if she's working 56 hrs a week or 56 hours over 2 weeks.
am I math challenged ?

9x40 = 360
13.50x16 = 216
Total = 576
17%tax = 98
Residual check net = 478

Works for me in that bracket...

Nobody but a salaried manager works 56 hrs a week, the overtime would destroy your labor percentage and you would very quickly be unemployed.
