• Overtime is the amount of time an employee works beyond the normal working hours as specified in the working days and hours mentioned above.
• In application of the provisions of overtime pay, such pay shall be calculated per hour as follow:
– During normal working days the employees shall be paid overtime at 1.25 the cost per hour based on their basic salary, as follows:
(Basic Salary * 12 months * 1.25) / (52 weeks * 48 hours)
– If an employee works during Fridays and official holidays or between 9.00h pm and 6.00h am, he/she shall be paid overtime at 1.5 the cost per hour based on his/her basic salary.
(Basic Salary * 12 months * 1.50) / (52 weeks * 48 hours)
• An employee shall not be entitled to overtime pay for any period less than one hour. Overtime is calculated to the nearest half- hour.
It should be 30 days because 4 days(Friday)are also paid (if this is your case)
