Overtime Hour Rate Calculation Type
This option drives the divisor used when the system converts a monthly salary into an hourly rate for overtime journals.| Option | Formula | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Uniform Month Length (30 Days Each) | Monthly Salary / 30 / Daily Working Hours | The most common choice in the Gulf region. Every month is treated as 30 days regardless of the calendar, so the hourly rate is constant year-round. |
| Use Actual Days in Month | Monthly Salary / Calendar Days in Month / Daily Working Hours | Hourly rate fluctuates month to month (higher in February, lower in 31-day months). Pick this if your contract explicitly references calendar days. |
| Hourly Rate Based on Annual Working Hours | (Monthly Salary × 12) / Annual Working Hours | Smoothest rate across the year — derives a single hourly rate from total annual working hours. Pick this when overtime is invoiced or reported on an annual basis. |
Daily Working Hours and Annual Working Hours inputs come from the employee’s assigned Shift Config — see Scheduling & roster.
When the setting takes effect
The value is read at the moment an overtime entry is calculated or posted. Changing the setting:- Does not retroactively rewrite previously posted overtime entries.
- Does affect any new overtime calculation from that point on, including draft entries that have not yet been posted.
