Overtime Pay & Maximum Hours
Overtime payment is mandatory for employees earning less than ZAR 224,080 per year. Hours outside of standard work hours are considered overtime. Employees can work a maximum of 3 hours overtime a day and 10 hours overtime a week. For overtime hours, employees are paid 150% of their salary on standard days and 200% of the salary on Sundays and holidays.
Should any employee work on a Sunday, they must be remunerated at double their normal wage rate for each hour worked, unless they ordinarily work on a Sunday, in which case they must be remunerated at 1.5 times their normal wage rate for each hour worked.
Some exceptions to overtime may apply for certain roles or salaries. For example, employees who earn more than ZAR 224,080.48 a year are not subject to overtime provisions. Such employees cannot demand to be paid for overtime worked, nor can they demand to be granted paid time off in view of payment.
