A day's hours and overtime per employee, signed. The monthly totals feed the pay run: overtime at the Labour Law's rate, absences deducted.

Hours in, hours out, overtime and absence

An attendance sheet (كشف حضور وانصراف) records, per employee and day, the time in, the time out, the hours worked, the overtime hours and the status (present, absent, sick leave, annual leave), with the employee's signature. Its monthly totals feed the pay run: overtime paid at the Labour Law's rate, absences deducted, leave days charged to the balance. Where a biometric clock exists, the sheet is its printout; where it does not, the sheet is the record.

  • The period and the department, and the company name.
  • Per line: date, employee, in, out, hours, overtime, status, signature.
  • Totals of hours and overtime, and who prepared and approved the sheet.

The Labour Law's numbers

Normal hours are eight a day or forty-eight a week, reduced to six a day or thirty-six a week for Muslim employees in Ramadan. Overtime is paid at the hourly wage plus fifty percent of the basic hourly wage, where the hourly wage is the monthly wage over thirty days and eight hours (240 hours). Hours on a weekly rest day or a public holiday are overtime. The sample shows one employee at eight hours, one at eight plus two overtime, and one on sick leave.

On 8,000.00 basic, the basic hourly wage is 33.33 and an overtime hour is 50.00; two hours are 100.00 on the payslip.

Hourly wage8,000 ÷ 240 = 33.33

Questions

Is overtime computed on basic or on total wage?

The Labour Law's Article 107 sets overtime at the hourly wage plus 50 percent of the basic wage. Most employers and the Ministry's calculator compute the whole premium on the basic wage, as the sample does; a contract may be more generous, never less.

How many overtime hours are allowed?

Overtime needs the employee's agreement and is capped in practice by the rule that total hours should not exceed the daily and weekly limits by more than the law's exceptions allow; the Ministry treats more than 720 overtime hours a year as a breach. Record every hour; unrecorded overtime is the usual labour-court claim.

Does Ramadan change the sheet?

For Muslim employees, normal hours drop to six a day; hours beyond six are overtime. The sheet does not change, the threshold does. Set the month's normal hours before the run.

What counts as an absence?

A day with no attendance and no approved leave. Sick leave with a certificate is paid under the Labour Law's scale (full pay for the first thirty days in a year, three-quarters for the next sixty, then unpaid), so the status column matters for the deduction.
