How overtime is calculated
Hours are split per day and per week using the selected country's default rule: daily overtime thresholds first, then the weekly threshold on the remaining regular hours. Rest-day work and, in the UAE, overtime between 22:00 and 04:00 get their own rate. Pay is each block of hours times the hourly rate; the extra part of the multiplier is paid on the basic rate where the law says so (Saudi Arabia and the UAE).
Frequently asked questions
How is overtime calculated in Saudi Arabia?
Normal hours are 8 a day or 48 a week (6 and 36 in Ramadan for Muslim workers). Each overtime hour is paid at the hourly wage plus 50% of the basic hourly wage (Art. 107). Work on the weekly rest day or on Eid holidays also counts as overtime.
What is the overtime rate in the UAE?
At least the basic hourly wage plus 25%, or plus 50% for overtime between 10 pm and 4 am (not for shift workers). Overtime is limited to 2 hours a day, and during Ramadan the normal working day is 2 hours shorter.
When does California require daily overtime?
1.5x after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week, and 2x after 12 hours in a day. On the seventh consecutive day of a workweek, the first 8 hours are 1.5x and anything after is 2x.
Is overtime paid at double rate in Pakistan?
Yes. Under the Factories Act and the shops and establishments laws, work beyond 9 hours a day or 48 hours a week is paid at twice the ordinary rate. Each province has its own statute, so check the rules for yours.
