Base wage and fringe benefits: $40.50 + $27.54
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. NYSDOL prints the supplements as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.

| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $27.54 |
