      The calculation done wrong, the formula in the brackets should be either 1 + 0.10 or 1 + 10/100, both resulting in +10% on the total wage. The person who wrote the formula presumably combined the two to get +0.1%.

      An ‘innocent’ mistake if you don’t take into account that such mistakes in favour of employer are very common and don’t get the same repercussions as similar mistakes done by workers themselves. As a general rule a worker should never give their boss the benefit of doubt due to the power imbalance that hugely favours the boss in any type of conflict.

      3 cents/hr is 10% of 30 cents/hr. Hope I could help.

      They didn’t give her a ten percent raise, but a hundredth of ten percent raise, for some reason (I would say for fraudulent reasons, but it could just be a mistake)
