Need some help with conditional formatting/rules

I have two columns with numbers. The first column represents commission, the second column represents hours worked, and each row is an employee.

First column has a conditional format to fill in the cell with red if the number is negative.

Now this is where I need help.

In the second column I want the cell to fill in yellow when two conditions are met.
First: The cell in the first column needs to be red/negative.
Second: The hours worked needs to be less than 40. Preferably greater than 0 as well so all the empty cells don't highlight unless of course you know another way to deal with that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

AND function only has a TRUE or FALSE output, I can't find a way for it to influence the fill option. I've tried putting it into conditional formatting but nothing happens.

Sorry, I had my signs reversed. Try:

=AND(A1< 0,B1< 40,B1 >0)
