Miscalculated overtime can cost your business more than money. It can lead to payroll disputes, compliance issues, and a loss of employee trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

For companies with shift workers, weekend operations, or changing schedules, calculating overtime is not always simple. An extra hour during the day may have a different rate from one worked at night. Public holidays and weekly rest days also have their own rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under Egypt’s Labor Law No. 14 of 2025, employers must follow clear working-hour limits and overtime payment requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Short<\/b><\/p>\n

Under Egyptian Labor Law No. 14\/2025, overtime is generally paid at no less than 135% of the regular hourly rate for daytime work and 170% for nighttime work in the exceptional working arrangements covered by Article 121. Work on weekly rest days and official holidays has separate compensation rules. Accurate overtime pay in Egypt starts with clear working-hour records, the right wage calculation, and consistent payroll processes.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
