    {
      "q": "How does the weekly timecard & overtime calculator work?",
      "a": "Under the FLSA, overtime is owed for hours over 40 in a workweek at 1.5× the regular rate. Some states, notably California, add daily overtime rules on top. The underlying maths is: Gross = Regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × multiplier."
    },
    {
      "q": "What do I need to enter?",
      "a": "9 values: monday hours, tuesday hours, wednesday hours, thursday hours, friday hours, saturday hours, sunday hours, hourly rate, and overtime multiplier. Each field starts with a sensible default, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result move."
    },
    {
      "q": "What does the gross weekly pay result mean?",
      "a": "It is returned as a money amount in US dollars and updates live as you edit the inputs, so you can compare two or three versions of a scenario in a few seconds."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this calculator free, and do I need an account?",
      "a": "Yes, it's free, and no account is required. Nothing you type is stored on our servers — the maths runs entirely in your browser."
    },
    {
      "q": "How accurate is the result?",
      "a": "It applies the standard formula exactly, so the arithmetic is precise. Estimates assume standard, average conditions — local rules, pricing, and materials vary."
    },
    {
      "q": "Who is this tool for?",
      "a": "It's built for anyone doing everyday planning maths — a quick estimate that would otherwise need four browser tabs and a calculator app."
