Paste from a spreadsheet if you like. Hours can be 42.5 or 42:30. Overtime is hours over 40 per person, at 1.5 times the rate.
How the week is worked out
For each person, hours up to 40 are paid at the regular rate. Hours over 40 are paid at 1.5 times the rate, which is the federal rule from the Department of Labor.
The total is gross pay, before employees' taxes. Cost to you adds the employer share of Social Security and Medicare, 7.65% by default.
What is not covered
California and other states with daily overtime, tip credits, salaried exempt employees, and bonuses that change the regular rate. For single employees with start and end times, use the time card calculator.

Does this handle California daily overtime?
No. It applies the federal rule of overtime over 40 hours in a week. California and a few other states add daily overtime, so use the California overtime calculator for those workers.
Is the employer cost the same as what I pay out?
