Use this formula in the Overtime Cell.

Assuming the Overtime for Monday is in Cell B6:

=IF(B5>42,3+(B5-42)*2,IF(B5>40,(B5-40)*1.5,0))

There are several timesheet templates you can download from Office online. They will have all the calculations you need on the sheet. It's a good way to learn how formula's are suppose to work and from there you can manipulate them to get what you need.
