In some instances the contract or plan for the payment of a bonus
may also provide for the simultaneous payment of overtime compensation
due on the bonus. For example, a contract made prior to the performance
of services may provide for the payment of additional compensation in
the way of a bonus at the rate of 10 percent of the employee's straight-
time earnings, and 10 percent of his overtime earnings. In such
instances, of course, payments according to the contract will satisfy in
full the overtime provisions of the Act and no recomputation will be
required. This is not true, however, where this form of payment is used
as a device to evade the overtime requirements of the Act rather than to
provide actual overtime compensation, as described in Secs. 778.502 and
778.503.
