I am very confused about the computation of holiday pay. I have guidelines that state it should be paid at 250% of the gross hourly rate. Likewise, 150% for Friday. If the salary is 2000 AED fixed monthly rate with Friday as a paid leave, how do I compute if an employee works 5 hours on Friday?
Is this correct?
2000 / 30 / 8 * 1.50 * 5hrs = 62.45 (Friday OT) + 2000 = 2062.45
But others computed it as follows:
2000 / 30 / 8 * 0.50 * 5hrs = 20 (Friday OT) + 2000 = 2020.00
Because the 100% on Friday is already included in the 2000, as well as in holiday computation.

Hi, Your calculation itself telling your second calculation is wrong. As per the above, the hourly wage is Rs. 8 and for 5hours it will be Rs. 40 and 150% is Rs. 60 approximately. Regards, Rajendra

According to the UAE Labour Laws:
- The normal hours will be calculated as 1.25.
- Friday hours will be calculated as 1.50.
- Public Holidays will be calculated as 2.50.
Therefore, the calculation for 5 hours on Friday would be as follows:
2000/30/8 * 5 Hrs * 1.50 = 62.45 (Friday OT) + 2000 = 63.00 + 2000 = 2063/- AED
