How the over time will be calculated

Dear Customer,                                                      
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like you to know that if your inquiry relates to the method of calculating the pay due for overtime, here are the following information:

According to the Qatari Labor Law, overtime is calculated according to the basic salary for those hours plus twenty-five percent.

If the overtime hours are between 9 pm to 3 am, then 50 percent is paid additional to the salary.

The annual leave is calculated on the basic salary.

Article (68)

The employer shall pay to the worker before going to the annual leave his/her wage on the performed work until the date of the actual leave, plus paying the leave's wage due to him/her.

Article (72)

The wage of the worker during the annual or sick leave and his end of service gratuity shall be calculated on the basis of his basic wage on the date of entitlement and if the worker is employed on a piece-by-piece work basis the entitlement shall be calculated on the basis of his average wages for the three months preceding the date of entitlement.

Article (74)

The workers may be required to work additional hours to the working hours specified in the preceding article provided that the actual working hours per day shall not exceed ten hours unless the work is necessary for the prevention of gross loss or dangerous accident or for the repair or alleviation of the consequences of the said loss or accident.

The employer shall pay to the worker for the additional working hours the rate of not less than the basic wage plus not less than 25% thereof.

The workers who work between 9 pm and 3 am shall be paid the basic wage plus not less than 50% thereof with the exception of the shift workers.

Article (75)

The worker shall be allowed of a weekly paid rest which shall not be less than twenty-four consecutive hours and Friday shall be the weekly rest day for all workers with the exception of the shift workers. If the circumstances of the work necessitate the employment of the worker during the rest day the worker shall be compensated for the rest day by another day, and shall be paid for working that day the wage payable to him for the ordinary weekly rest day or his basic wage plus an increase of not less than 150%.
With the exception of shift workers a worker shall not be required to work more than two consecutive Fridays
