Overtime Pay

About the Overtime Pay calculator

Overtime has six different rates depending on the day and the shift, and the hardest is night overtime: it is not a flat +50% but a sum of three components, where the 20% part is charged on that day's own daytime rate. Which is why night overtime on a weekly rest day pays 270%, not the 250% most people assume. This lays out all six rates and shows how each is assembled.

Basis & method

• Art. 98 Labour Code 2019 — at least 150% on a weekday, 200% on a weekly rest day, 300% on a public holiday; night work adds 30%; overtime at night adds a further 20%.
• Art. 55–57 Decree 145/2020 — the 20% night-overtime component is charged on that day's own DAYTIME rate, which yields 200% / 270% / 390%.
• Art. 107 Labour Code 2019 — overtime is capped at 40 hours/month and 200 hours/year (300 in certain sectors).
