Greeting to all Expat member,

i would like to understand more detail about how to come hourly rate and Overtime calculation to help me and all expat community

Option #1
= Basic Salary / 240 hours = ? One hours Rate
( 30 days x 8 hr/ day = 240 hrs )

Option #1
Or
= Basic Salary / 208 hours = ? One hours Rate
( 26 working days x 8 hr/ day = 208 hrs )

Example
Option #1 Basic salary 100 BHD ( 100 / 240 = 0.417 hourly rate)
Day Overtime = 0.417 x 1.25 = 0.521
Night Overtime = 0.417 x 1.50 = 0.625

which is correct salary computation

please guide by Labor law

Thanks and have a nice day

First of all, it is not 30*8. Labor law mandates that an employee shall get a weekly rest day off and / or working hours not to exceed 48 hour per week. So adjusting that, it takes it to 26. So option #2 is correct.
