- Something is wrong with your paycheck. You earn $11.00 an hour. You worked 40 hours last week plus 7 hours overtime, which pays you time and a half wages. Your check states that your pay for the week is $517.00. How much money is your check off by? (don't worry about taxes and such)

ANSWER: $38.50

- This week, you find out that the brown-noser guy across the hall from you is trying to get the same week off for vacation that YOU want off. Only one of you can get it, and he just handed your boss a load of BS and a big bottle of Chivas Regal. In 60 words or less, tell me how you would get the upper hand on your boss in order to get the days off you need to secure your vacation plans.



Each employee in the contest must submit their info ASAP and the overall performance of their assignment will be what determines their fate each week. Will the biggest Slacker win the appreciation of the voters, or will submitting quickly be the key to success? We'll find out as employees are terminated.
