Here is one way, fairly straightforward translation.
Does no error checking on input so if you enter an invalid value at
the prompt will raise exception.

if GrossPay > MinPay:

# Here is another way, playing around a bit to minimise line count

TaxRate, MinPay, RegHours  = 0.23, 300.0, 40.0

HoursWorked = float(raw_input('Please enter the hours worked per week
==> '))
PayRate = float(raw_input('Please enter the hourly rate of pay ==> '))

print 'Gross Pay', (min(HoursWorked,RegHours) * PayRate) +

print 'Net Pay', GrossPay - (max(0,(GrossPay-MinPay)) * TaxRate)
