Frequently asked questions
What are the UAE overtime multipliers?
Twenty-five per cent uplift by day and fifty per cent at night, with a maximum of two overtime hours. The report opens by telling you which law it used.
Is Oman's overtime rate the same as the UAE's?
The percentage is comparable — Oman requires at least twenty-five per cent — but the working month and therefore the hourly rate differ, so the same percentage produces a different amount.
Can I see the overtime arithmetic, and is every rate money?
The arithmetic is shown in the open, and the page states where a rate is reference only rather than money. You can run it for any past month, never a future one, and export it for payroll.
