Frequently Asked Questions — Saudi Labor Law Overtime (أسئلة شائعة)
What is the exact overtime formula under Article 107 of the Saudi Labor Law?
Under Article 107 of the Saudi Labor Law, an employer must pay the employee for overtime hours an amount equal to 100% of their actual hourly wage (basic salary plus regular allowances) PLUS an additional bonus of 50% of their basic hourly wage: Hourly Overtime Rate = Actual Hourly Wage + (0.50 x Basic Hourly Wage).
What is the monthly hours divisor for calculating hourly wages in Saudi Arabia?
Under standard labor guidelines (Article 98), the standard monthly divisor is 240 hours, representing 30 calendar days multiplied by 8 regular hours per day. During the holy month of Ramadan for Muslim employees, the statutory work day is reduced to 6 hours, lowering the divisor to 180 hours (30 x 6).
How is work on weekly rest days (Fridays) and public holidays compensated?
Under Article 107, all hours worked during weekly days of rest (Friday or Saturday) or official public holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Saudi National Day, Saudi Founding Day) are legally deemed overtime hours and must be compensated at the full Article 107 rate.
What is the maximum permissible overtime an employee can work?
Under Saudi Labor Law regulations and executive bylaws, overtime work must not exceed 721 hours per year without special ministerial exemption, and daily work hours including overtime must not exceed 10 hours in any single workday.
Are housing and transportation allowances included in overtime calculations?
Yes. The base 100% hourly rate is calculated using the employee's 'Actual Wage' (الأجر الفعلي), which includes both basic salary and regular allowances (housing, transportation). The 50% extra bonus, however, is calculated strictly on the basic wage portion.
