The legal overtime remuneration rate must be 1.5 times the normal wage rate, so multiply the standard hourly wage by 150% to get the hourly overtime wage. For example, if X is paid R10,000 per month and works 220 hours per week, their hourly wage is R55. 55, and their overtime is R83. 33.

What is the hourly rate for overtime?

Overtime pay is also known as the overtime premium or the overtime rate of pay. Overtime hours are typically paid at time and a half, which is 50% more than the employee’s regular wage. It means that for every hour of overtime worked, you will be paid 1.5 times your regular hourly rate.
