Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on UAE payroll rules, hourly caps, and settlement procedures.
Is overtime calculated on basic salary or gross salary?
Under UAE Labour Law, overtime is calculated strictly on the employee's Basic Salary. Allowances such as housing, transportation, and utility stipends are excluded from the basic hourly wage calculation for overtime compensation.
What is the legal formula for basic hourly rate in the UAE?
The standard statutory formula divides the monthly basic salary by 30 days to derive the basic daily wage, and then divides that daily wage by the standard working hours (usually 8 hours): Hourly Wage = (Basic Salary ÷ 30) ÷ 8.
What are the overtime pay percentages under UAE Labour Law?
Ordinary Daytime Overtime is compensated at 125% of the basic hourly wage (100% base + 25% premium). Night Overtime (performed between 9:00 PM and 4:00 AM) is compensated at 150% (100% base + 50% premium). Rest day or public holiday work is compensated at 150% with an alternative day off, or 250% if no compensatory rest day is provided.
Are managerial and executive staff eligible for overtime?
Under statutory regulations, employees in managerial or supervisory positions who exercise executive authority are generally exempt from statutory overtime provisions.
