Formula

  • India: Hourly basic rate = (Basic + DA) ÷ (working days × 8 hours).
  • India OT pay = OT hours × hourly rate × 2.
  • UAE: Hourly basic rate = Basic ÷ (working days × 8 hours), typically 30 days × 8 = 240 hours / month.
  • UAE weekday OT = OT hours × hourly rate × 1.25.
  • UAE weekend / public holiday OT = OT hours × hourly rate × 1.5.
  • UAE night OT (10 PM-4 AM) = OT hours × hourly rate × 1.5.

Worked example

Indian factory worker with Rs. 20,000 basic + DA, 26 working days × 8 hours = 208 hours / month. Hourly = 20,000 ÷ 208 ≈ Rs. 96. 12 hours OT at 2× = 12 × 96 × 2 = Rs. 2,304. UAE site engineer with AED 4,000 basic, 30 × 8 = 240 hours / month. Hourly = AED 16.67. 10 weekday OT hours at 1.25× = 10 × 16.67 × 1.25 = AED 208. 4 weekend OT hours at 1.5× = 4 × 16.67 × 1.5 = AED 100. Total OT = AED 308.

FAQ

OT Calculator, common questions

50 hours per quarter for adult workers under the central Factories Act 1948, with some states allowing up to 60-75 hours per quarter. Weekly limits are 12 hours and total work-hours (regular + OT) cannot exceed 60 per week.
Generally no, the Factories Act applies to workers, not supervisory or managerial staff (defined by role responsibilities, not just designation). Shops and establishment acts vary state-by-state.
Standard formula: (Basic + DA) ÷ (working days × daily hours). The 26 working days × 8 hours = 208 hours is the most common India base. UAE typically uses 30 days × 8 = 240 hours per month for OT computation.
No, OT is calculated on basic + DA (or basic + cost-of-living allowance in UAE), not on HRA, conveyance, special allowance or other components. This is statutory; some employers pay above-statute by policy.
1.5× the ordinary hourly rate for work on the official weekend (Friday or Saturday + Sunday depending on emirate / employer's published weekend) or public holidays declared by the UAE government.
During Ramadan, regular working hours are reduced by 2 hours/day per UAE Labour Law. Work beyond the reduced hours is OT at the standard 1.25× rate (1.5× on Friday / public holidays).
Yes, Factories Act caps and per-state variations are baked into the shift engine. Once a worker hits the cap, further OT requires explicit override with reason logged in the audit trail.
