I have a query regarding OT calculation as per UAE Labor Law. Is the OT calculated as per the following formula?

Normal Overtime Calculation

- Basic Salary / 30 (days) * 1.25
- OR Gross Salary / 30 (days) * 1.25

Overtime (OT) is based on the basic salary only. As per UAE law, the maximum OT time is 2 hours, and it may be extended for 1 hour depending on the industry and workload.

For example, if the basic salary is 1500 AED:
1500 / 30 / 8 (per day work hours) * 2
Then you will calculate your OT time, which is 2 hours.

I hope this information helps you.
