❓ Frequently Asked Statutory Questions
What are the legal overtime rates under the Kiribati Employment Code?
Under Part VII of the Employment and Industrial Relations Code (EIRC) 2015, hours worked beyond standard daily or weekly hours are paid at 1.5 times the employee's ordinary basic hourly rate. Work performed on a scheduled weekly rest day (Sunday) or gazetted public holiday must be compensated at double time (2.0 times the ordinary hourly rate).
How is the basic hourly rate determined for salaried staff in Kiribati?
For an employee receiving a monthly salary, the basic hourly rate is derived by dividing the monthly salary by contractual monthly working hours: Monthly Salary ÷ (Weekly Hours × 4.333). For standard 40-hour work weeks, the divisor is 173.33 hours.
What is the standard legal work week in Kiribati?
Under EIRC 2015, normal working hours for adult employees cannot exceed 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week in the private sector, and 36.25 hours in the Kiribati Public Service, excluding meal breaks.
Can an employer grant time off instead of paying overtime in Kiribati?
Yes, provided there is mutual written agreement between the employer and employee. Compensatory rest time must equal the statutory overtime multiplier (e.g., 1.5 hours of time off for 1 hour of normal overtime, or 2 hours off for holiday work).
Is overtime pay subject to KPF contributions and PAYE tax?
Yes. Overtime earnings form part of total gross wages under the Kiribati Provident Fund Act (requiring 7.5% employee and 7.5% employer contributions) and are assessable as employment income under the Income Tax Act 1990.
