Instrument 02 · Measure

Separate the wage layers.

Compare low, base, and high entered assumptions. The lab performs bounded arithmetic; it does not select hours, rates, people, periods, or remedies.

All entries stay on this device · nothing is retained

Input register · scenario, not forecast

Define the entered layers.

Ephemeral in this browser
01 Population and period

The instrument does not select a group or limitations period. These are user-entered arithmetic bounds.

02 Weekly-hour sensitivities

Low ≤ Base ≤ High. An entered gap is not a determination that time was worked, compensable, or unpaid.

03 Straight-time layer
04 Optional overtime increment
05 Optional premium-hour layer

Inputs remain in memory on this device and disappear when the page is reloaded or closed.

Formula register

Every total remains decomposable.

Straight time
employees × workweeks × entered weekly gap × entered rate
OT increment
employees × workweeks × entered weekly gap × entered overtime share × entered rate × entered increment
Premium hours
employees × workweeks × entered premium hours per workweek × entered premium rate

Interpretation boundary

Arithmetic on entered assumptions

This is arithmetic on entered assumptions—not a conclusion about covered hours, applicable rates, group composition, time period, responsibility, or recoverable amounts.

Excluded from every total

    Use the output to test sensitivity, not to manufacture certainty. Replace every entered layer with a period-matched record and a legally appropriate calculation before drawing any external conclusion.
