Yes

Explanation:

According to the given question, Richard said to Paul to complete the work he will pay the overtime wages if he works late and finished the work too.

He pays the Paul $500 for 28 hours and if he works late then he pays him a total of $750, so $250 was the additional amount that Paul received.

Since, both the parties are mutually agreed upon the term and condition, so Richard will pay the additional amount to Paul of $250 as he works overtime, so he received overtime wages along with the normal wages
