Overtime allowance

Take action now
Last updated on 1 July 2025
Overtime is considered as work performed outside the working hours applying to employees, and results in exceeding the fixed number of working hours per working week.

The overwork allowance is only granted to employees who are members of the support and management staff (OBP) and to whom a salary scale applies of up to and including scale 10, and who work overtime by order of the manager.

The compensation for overtime shall consist of compensation hours, unless compelling business or departmental reasons dictate otherwise. In this case, the manager has an option to compensate the overtime through a financial compensation.

To register overtime, go to the Record overtime self-service option. Use the blue 'Take action now' button on this page.

The additional compensation hours or financial compensation shall consist of a percentage of the duration of overtime based on the employee’s hourly wage, being:

  • 25% for overtime worked between 7 am and 6 pm from Mondays to Fridays
  • 50% for overtime worked between 7 am and 6 pm the following morning from Mondays to Fridays and overtime worked between midnight and 4 pm on Saturdays
  • 100% for overtime worked after 4 pm on Saturdays and any overtime worked on Sundays and public holidays
