Hello Community Members!

 

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here

 

This challenge was submitted by our valued ACE, Yughandar Muley. Thank you, @ydmuley for this excellent contribution!

 

The holiday season is just around the corner, and it is the most magical time for businesses to thrive—and for seasonal employees to earn some extra money!

 

Meet Tom, a student who is looking to make some holiday cash. His family runs a homemade cookie business, and they need someone to pack orders during the bustling season.

 

Tom works 6 days a week and is paid $15 per hour, working 4 hours a day on weekdays, and 10 hours a day on weekends. He has Thursdays and holidays off, including Christmas on December 25th and New Year’s Day on January 1st.

 

Your challenge: Calculate Tom’s earnings for weekdays, weekends, and his total pay for the contract period! His start and end dates are provided in a Text Input tool in the workflow.

 

Let’s spread some holiday joy and solve this festive challenge!
