How is overtime payment being calculated?
Standard working hours are 8 hours per day, and 84 hours per fortnight. An employer shall pay a worker overtime wages on the following basis:
1. Where the overtime work does not exceed two hours, the worker shall be paid, in addition to the regular hourly wage, at least an additional one-third of the regular hourly rate.
2. Where the overtime work is further over two hours, but the total overtime work does not exceed four hours, the worker shall be paid, in addition to the regular hourly wage, at least an additional two-thirds of the regular hourly rate.
3. Where the overtime work is requested due to the occurrence of an act of God, an accident, or an unexpected event, the worker shall be paid two times the regular hourly rate.
