Rate of payment (per hour) = 1.5 (ordinary rate)

Basic salary = RM 1,800

Travelling allowance = RM 200

Daily rate = salary per month (basic salary) / 26 days

= 1800 / 26 days

= RM 69.23 per day / 8 hours

=RM 8.65/ per hour

RD x 3 Sundays (full time) = RM 69.23 x 3 days

= RM 207.69

OT on RD (3 hrs x 3 Sundays)

= 2 times (OT on Sunday) x 8.65 x 3 hours extra x 3 days

= RM 155.7

National Day (public holiday) = 2 times of your daily rate

= RM 69.23 x 2 times of your daily rate

= RM 138.46

Total wages for August 2019 = 1800 + 200 + 207.69 + 155.7 + 138.46

Overtime hours (3 weeks) = 3 hours

Peak season working days = 18 days (3 weeks)

= RM 1,830 / 26 days

= RM 70.38 per day / 8 hours

= RM 8.79 per hour

OT (3 hours of OT for 3 weeks) = 8.79 x 1.5 times (normal working days) x 3 hours x 18
days

Overtime (Sunday) = 8 hours
Overtime (Monday) = 2 hours
Daily rate = basic salary / 26 days

= Rm 66.53 per day x 8 hours
= RM 8.31 per hour
LB/PH 1 (normal working hours) = RM 66.53 x 2 times
= RM 133.06
PH 1 OT (3 hours) = RM 8.31 x 3 times x 3 hours
= RM 74.79
PH 2 (2 hours) = RM 66.53 x 2 times
= RM 133.06

ND OT (2 hours) = RM 8.31 x 1.5 times x 2 hours
= RM 24.93
Total wages for May 2016 = 1730 + 270 + 133.06 + 74.79 + 133.06 + 66.53 + 24.93
= RM 2,432.37
