16.04 Explanatory: Overtime Compensation is an additional compensation rate that is paid to employees for hours worked beyond their normal work hours. There are two types of overtime compensation, namely, time-and-a-half, which is paid for hours worked beyond 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week, and double-time, which applies for hours worked beyond 12 hours in a day or over 8 hours on a seventh consecutive day. Employees who are eligible for overtime compensation should receive an overtime rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for time-and-a-half, and 2 times their regular hourly rate for double-time.
