Fiji Overtime & Public Holiday Remuneration Rules
Time-and-a-Half (1.5x) Multiplier
Under the Employment Relations Act 2007 (ERA 2007) and associated sectoral wage regulations, ordinary overtime worked in excess of normal daily hours (generally beyond 8 hours on a standard workday) must be paid at a rate not less than one and a half times (1.5x) the employee's standard hourly rate.
Double-Time (2.0x) on Sundays and Holidays
Work performed on designated weekly rest days, Sundays, or gazetted public holidays attracts a mandatory double-time (2.0x) premium. Workers required to operate on public holidays must receive this compensation in addition to their statutory right to a paid holiday.
National Minimum Wage Progression
Fiji’s National Minimum Wage (NMW) sets the legal floor for all informal and unorganized workers, rising to FJ$ 4.50 per hour in August 2024 and reaching FJ$ 5.00 per hour by April 2025. Employers cannot calculate overtime multipliers on rates below this statutory minimum.
FNPF Pension Withholdings
All overtime pay constitutes gross assessable remuneration under the FNPF Act. Employers must withhold 8.0% for employee superannuation and remit an additional 10.0% employer contribution on total overtime pay.
