Additional comment

The rounding of overtime pay will occur at the end of the computation. The first hour of overtime (and each odd hour) will earn $23.63, but the second hour (and each even hour) will earn only $23.62.

That is, total pay for 2 hours of overtime will not be 2 × $23.63 = $47.26, but will be 2 × $23.625 = $47.25.
