Overtime

Last updated

Overtime is work beyond normal working hours. In the UAE private sector it is paid at the basic hourly wage plus at least 25%, or plus at least 50% between 10 pm and 4 am for workers not on shifts, and is limited to two hours a day.

Where you meet it

Price a month with the overtime calculator and read the guide to UAE labour rules for contractors. Work on a rest day has its own rule.
