Andre's base weekly salary is $30,000 / 52 = $576.92. His piece-rate earnings for June are $2,650 * 25% = $662.50. Since his piece-rate earnings are paid on the first pay date of the following month, they will not be included in his gross pay for the first week in July. Therefore, his gross pay for the first week in July is $576.92.
