How it's calculated

How it's calculated: Weighted hours = hours × (1 + 0.25×weekend + 0.35×night). Person A = 8.0h → 10.00; Person B = 8.0h → 10.80. Delta (A − B) = -0.80. Verdict: Person A owes Person B (approx $17.60 at $22/hr).

Formula summary: weight(h, weekend, night) = h × (1 + 0.25×weekend + 0.35×night) ; delta = weight_A_gives − weight_B_gives
