Is OT without pay the norm now?

[waterdestiny]

Seems more and more company practicing this

 

[peaceheart]

Depends on the salary and job nature. Above $2.5k no OT pay iirc
But if work in warehouse, those workers will have OT pay if I'm not wrong

Last time kena OT no pay, boss said can take time off, but everyday worked until 9-10pm how to calculate?
If coy/boss said can take time off, tell him to FO

Better than my former boss. I worked that whole week until 1am, including weekends and I asked to take half day off the following week. He told me "You like that means everyone who work a bit of OT need to ask for off?"

Yup, I threw letter when he was overseas.

So far never came across company that will force you do OT. Mostly is the slave willing to do OT themselve.

Already the norm since 20 years ago...

Overtime pay​

Overtime work is all work in excess of the normal hours of work (excluding breaks).

You can claim overtime if you are:

• A non-workman earning up to $2,600.
• A workman earning up to $4,500.

The overtime rate payable for non-workmen is capped at the salary level of $2,600, or an hourly rate of $13.60.

Get your correct overtime pay on time. Work done beyond the contractual hours is considered overtime hours.
For overtime work, your employer must pay you at least 1.5 times the hourly basic rate of pay. Payment must be made within 14 days after the last day of the salary period.

A non-workman earns $2,600 a month and works 2 hours of overtime. The overtime pay is:
$13.60 × 1.5 × 2 hours = $40.80

How overtime pay is calculated​

Overtime pay is calculated as follows:

• Hourly basic rate of pay × 1.5 × number of hours worked overtime

The hourly basic rate of pay is calculated as follows:

For this category of employee	Hourly basic rate of pay is
Monthly-rated employee	(12 x Monthly basic rate of pay) / (52 x 44)
Daily-rated employee	Daily pay at the basic rate / Working hours per day
Piece-rated employee	Total weekly pay at the basic rate of pay / Total number of hours worked in the week

No OT pay had been a long practice in Singapore, and the government keeps saying Singaporean workers are not cheap enough.
