Frequently asked questions
How is overtime pay calculated in Pakistan?
First find the normal hourly rate by dividing the monthly salary by 26 working days and then by 8 hours per day. Overtime hours are then paid at twice the normal hourly rate. This calculator applies the same formula for daily and hourly wages.
What is the legal overtime rate in Pakistan?
Under the Factories Act 1934 and the provincial Shops and Establishments Ordinances, overtime must be paid at double the normal hourly rate. This is the legal minimum and it applies to factory workers and commercial establishment employees.
Can I use this calculator with daily or hourly wages?
Yes. Choose the pay type that matches your wage: monthly salary, daily wage or hourly wage. The calculator derives the normal hourly rate from your choice and then applies the 2x overtime rate.
What if my employer pays less than double for overtime?
Double the normal rate is the legal minimum under the Factories Act and the Shops and Establishments law. If an employer pays less, the worker can approach the labour department. Some employers pay more than double as a benefit, but never less than double.
