Dear HRians

Do you know the rest day OT should paid in day’s wage if the period of hours of work less than normal hours of work?

60(3). Work on rest day

• (a) In the case of an employee employed on a daily, hourly or other similar rate of pay who works on a rest day, he shall be paid for any period of work–

  • (i) which does not exceed half his normal hours of work, one day’s wages at the ordinary rate of pay; or
  • (ii) which is more than half but does not exceed his normal hours of work, two days’ wages at the ordinary rate of pay.

• (b) In the case of an employee employed on a monthly rate of pay who works on a rest day, he shall be paid for any period of work —

  • (i) which does not exceed half his normal hours of work, wages equivalent to half the ordinary rate of pay for work done on that day; or
  • (ii) which is more than half but which does not exceed his normal hours of work, one day’s wages at the ordinary rate of pay for work done on that day.

• (c) For any work carried out in excess of the normal hours of work on a rest day by an employee mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b), he shall be paid at a rate which is not less than two times his hourly rate of pay.

Example: monthly rated employees with normal working 8 hours

A. OT on Normal Days: 1.5 x Hourly Rate of Pay

B. OT on Rest/Off Day:

• Half of the O.R.P
  for that day if the period of work does not exceed half his normal hours of work (<= 4 hours)
• 1 day’s O.R.P
  works are more than half of normal of work but not exceed normal of work (> 4 and <= 8 hours)
• 2 times hourly rate of pay
  Period of work exceed s normal hours of work (>=8 hours)

C. OT on Public Holidays:

• <= 8 hours: O.R.P x 2
• Exceed 8 hours: 3 time hourly rate of paid

1)    O.R.P. is stand for “Ordinary rate of pay” in short is wages for normal hours of work for one day

2)    Formula of O.R.P

Monthly rate of pay / 26

3)    Formula of hourly of work: O.R.P. divided by normal hours of work
