Summary
This article clarifies how work hours, specifically Saturday shifts from 8 AM to 1 PM, are processed for overtime and undertime deductions, emphasizing the baseline assumption of an eight-hour workday.
Understanding Work Hours and Overtime Calculations
Highlights
Overtime Calculation
Overtime is calculated for every hour worked beyond 1 PM, assuming the employee has already completed an 8-hour workday.
Undertime Deduction
Undertime deductions are applied for every minute less than 1 PM, operating under the assumption of an 8-hour workday. This means that if an employee works from 8 AM to 1 PM, any time less than that is deducted as undertime, similar to an employee who works an 8-hour shift and leaves early.
Saturday Work Hours
A Saturday shift from 8 AM to 1 PM is considered an 8-hour workday, despite the actual hours worked.
