Hours Calculator

Full guidance on hourly calculation: How to correctly calculate overtime and hourly pay?

The calculation of working hours appears to be simple, but it covers the various dimensions of the national labour law, the system of internal company attendance and flexible working hours for special types of work. For every worker, knowing the correct method of calculating the hours worked is not only about his or her labour rights but also about the need to clear up compensation for overtime and the calculation of hourly wages. This paper will be read in detail for you in terms of legal basis, formulae, common error zones.

I. China ' s labour law provisions on working hours

Under article 36 of the Labour Code, the State applies a system of working hours for workers that do not exceed 8 hours per day and an average of 44 hours per week. The State Council Regulation on Working Hours for Employees further specifies that the number of hours per week does not exceed 40 (i.e., double rest).

"Exercise work" shall constitute overtime and the employer shall be required to pay overtime at the following rates:

II. Detailed formulae for calculating working hours

Standard working hours are not complex and the core formula is as follows:

III. Actual hours worked under the usual working system

The following is a working-hour analysis of several typical working systems for information:

• Standard 9-18 (1 hour lunch break): Actual working hours of 8 hours, standard working hours, no overtime.
• 996 (9 a.m. and 6 days a week): Worked approximately 11-12 hours per day and 66-72 hours per week, nearly one times more than the statutory standard. Failure to pay overtime is a legal offence.
• 10-19 (1 hour afternoon break): Actual working hours of 8 hours, meeting the standard.
• Night work 22:00 - next day 6 p.m.This tool supports the calculation of the daytime time, with the actual working hours being 8 hours, and the full display.

IV. How can working-hour data be used to defend their rights and interests?

Working hours are not only a tool for individual time management but are more indispensable evidence in labour disputes. The following recommendations are made:

1. I keep playing card every day.- The habit of using time-calculators to record hours off work and hours, and the data accumulated over time have important reference value in labour arbitrations.
2. Timecaps of retention: Regular retention of time-scripts of the working time statistics as supporting evidence.
3. Checking the wage scalesOvertime rates calculated against this tool check whether the monthly payroll is in compliance with the law.
4. Understanding local additional requirementsSome provinces and municipalities (e.g. Guangdong, Shanghai, Beijing) have more specific additional provisions based on national labour laws, which are recommended for simultaneous understanding.

V. A PAY-TILLING STRATEGY FOR THE LIBERIAN PLAYING

For groups such as freelance designers, programmers, consultants, etc., reasonable pricing of hourly wages is the basis for sustainable business development. It is suggested that the following three dimensions be considered in a comprehensive manner:

• Market reference value• 30-50 per cent increase in the daily salary (to cover self-employment social security, taxation, marketing costs) with reference to the monthly salary of full-time employees with the same qualifications.
• Proportion of effective working hoursThe free-lancers' "effective working hours" (the time they actually create value for their clients) usually account for only 60-70 per cent of the total working hours, while the rest are spent on business development, administrative services, etc., which are to be taken into account in pricing.
• History Project Rewind: The actual time-consuming use of card-checking to record historical statistical projects, the continuous calibration of the quotation strategy against the quotations.
