need help with a payroll formula

[Guest]

I'am just learning to use formulas and working on a payroll spreadsheet. I
have it all done except that overtime is paid after 40 hours. I need a
formula that tells it to take any hours over 40 and put it into the overtime
column. Can you help

say hours worked are in cell a1 then to have overtime in cell b1 type the
following:

=max(0,a1-40)
