Overtime Pay.. Please help

Magandang araw po.

Based on the facts, your company adopted what we call a "Compressed Workweek Scheme". Instead of the normal number of workdays which is six days a week (or 48 hours a week based on the normal workday of eight hours a day), yung normal workweek is reduced to less than six days but the total number of normal work hours per week shall remain at 48 hours, kaya mag-iincrease yung workhours nyo per day. In your case, 5 araw kayo pumapasok or 45 hours a week or 9 hours per day. Ito po ay pinapayagan nang batas. In such arrangement, the law allows the increase of workhours to more than 8 hours "without corresponding overtime premium".

Magiging entitled lang po kayo sa overtime premium if work is performed "beyond 12 hours a day or 48 hours a week", in your case, if you work on a saturday or sunday. Yung .3 na factor ay ung +30% overtime premium na matatanggap mo considering that sat or sun may be considered as rest day nyo.

Yung 1.69% na factor rate may have been computed as follows:

Work on rest day (Sat/Sun) = wage + 30% = 1.30
Overtime work on rest day = wage + 30& = 1.30
Total pay during sat/sun = 1.30 * 1.30 = 1.69

So ang sweldo nyo po pag Sat/Sun is 1.69 * your normal pay.
