An employee’s working hours are determined by the employment contract but cannot exceed 40 hours per week.
If an employee is required to work for over 8 hours in a day, it’s considered overtime work and is subject to 125% pay. If an employee has to work during rest days or special non-working holidays, they are entitled to 130% pay.
Computing pay for work done
- A Regular Day (basic daily rate = monthly rate x number of months in a year (12) / total working days in a year)
- A Special Day (130% x basic daily rate)
- A Special Day, which is also a scheduled Rest Day (150% x basic daily rate)
- A Regular Holiday (200% x basic daily rate)
- A Regular Holiday, which is also a scheduled Rest Day (260% x basic daily rate)
Computing Night Differential
- Ordinary Day (110% x basic hourly rate)
- Rest Day and Special Day (143% x hourly rate)
- Regular Holiday (220% x hourly rate)
