Gross payment made to Tom will be $512.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom wages rate is $12.50 per hours

Wage rate of the over time = Half of the normal rate = $6.25

Number of hours he worked for = 42

Allotted hours for him for normal schedule = 40

Hence Total payment for 40 hours = $12.50 x 40 = $500

Additional work / overtime = 2 hours

Payment for overtime = 2 x $6.25 = $12.50

Gross payment made to Tom = $500+$12.50 = $512.50
